Alex Clark Issues GOP Warning: Ignore Us and You Lose
Once upon a time, Democrats owned health and wellness. But when they failed to deliver, they could no longer sit at the table. Conservatives figured out how to step up to the plate and deliver on some of the most consequential policies to save Americans, literally.

The Daily Signal sat down for an exclusive interview with one of the loudest and most influential voices in the MAHA movement, Alex Clark, host of “Culture Apothecary.”
Clark shared what she believes Republicans need in order to win in the midterms, and she offered a look into her fight against one of the most powerful industries in the country. She even discussed her wedding plans.
“MAHA moms will crawl through broken glass to vote for a MAHA candidate,” Clark told the Daily Signal. “I believe if these women are ignored, we’re going to lose the midterms, [and also in 2028].”
“If we keep a stronghold on them and we don’t break promises and we keep doing what we said we’re going to do, they will stay loyal to us,” she continued.
The party recently saw this strength in Iowa, where MAHA-endorsed, first-time politician Zach Lahn beat MAGA-endorsed Rep. Randy Feenstra, R-Iowa, in the Republican governor’s primary. “We just elected an anti-pesticide farmer in the biggest farming state in the United States that is completely controlled by Big Ag and Big Chem! Like, Bayer runs Iowa!” Clark stressed.
“What we’re seeing across the country is that candidates who have these three things are winning: It’s a MAHA endorsement, it’s a MAGA endorsement, and it’s a Turning Point Action endorsement,” Clark said. Lahn was endorsed by Turning Point Action after Clark made the push for it.
The coalition has had continuous legislative and electoral wins in the past two years.
The U.S. House, led by Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., voted to strip pesticide liability shields from the farm bill. While it still needs to pass the Senate to become law, her amendment received strong bipartisan support, getting approved by a 280-142 vote. Democrats accounted for 207 yeas, and 73 Republicans joined them. Some Republican members expressed their support for the amendment after it passed.
Lawsuits Total $16 Billion
Clark explained a pesticide liability shield is like the vaccine liability shield, which says a customer cannot sue the producer if they are harmed. If that shield goes into law, over 57,000 chemicals could be protected from legal accountability. While U.S. lawmakers are attempting to strip these liability shields, the fight is being won in the states.
“So, if [glyphosate] is safe, why have we settled over $16 billion in lawsuits?” Clark asked. “You don’t settle $16 billion in lawsuits for cancer, by the way, if it’s safe. So, we know that that’s a lie,” she continued.
Pesticides have been linked to causing Hodgkin lymphoma, cancer, and Parkinson’s disease.
Clark credits MAHA moms for killing the shield laws in Florida, Kansas, and Tennessee. “That happened because of moms’ boots on the ground getting things done and calling legislators and politicians and telling them, ‘I will primary you if you don’t do this,’” she said.
Farmers Are Worried—Do They Need to Be?
On the other hand, farmers are concerned about MAHA coming after pesticides because they rely heavily on them.
“We’re not advocating to take pesticides away overnight,” Clark explained. “It’s an educational process to help farmers know how to wean off these deadly pesticides for their own health and the health of the American people.”
Clark, who talks often about regenerative farming on her “Culture Apothecary” podcast, continued her support of Lahn, explaining that he is going to be “instrumental” in this fight because he is a sixth-generation farmer who knows how to farm without relying on pesticides.
She also shared her views with Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk before his death.
“I told Charlie that the future of the conservative movement with women was going to be health and wellness,” Clark said, adding that Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s support of President Donald Trump was important for women.
“Women were beside themselves and just ready to vote for Trump when they never were willing to before,” she said.
As for the success of her show, Clark said it was “God’s timing that made it all come together so beautifully.”
