On abortion, Kehoe assailed Quade's endorsement of Amendment 3—which aimed to enshrine access up to and beyond in cases of medical necessity—as "very extreme," arguing it exceeded reasonable exceptions to Missouri's restrictions. He contended such a measure would prioritize unrestricted access over protections for the unborn, aligning with broader Republican opposition to expanding reproductive rights in the state.

Kehoe further targeted Quade's support for local governments' authority to impose firearm regulations, claiming it imposed "more restrictions on a citizen’s Second Amendment rights" and disadvantaged law-abiding gun owners without enhancing public safety.
