A strong, unique voice for southern Florida

Today EMILY's List President Stephanie Schriock announced that we are adding another great pro-choice Democratic woman to our roster for this fall! EMILY's List is endorsing Frederica Wilson in her campaign to represent Florida's 17th congressional district. She recently won the nomination in a crowded primary with nine candidates.
Frederica has been on our radar as she climbed the ranks of Florida's state House and Senate, where she's been a consistent voice for under-served communities. Frederica is a role model for many, and has a stellar public service record: public school teacher, principal, school board member, and state legislator. Now, we're proud to be supporting her bid to become the congresswoman for her district.
Read more about Frederica here.
Her work in Tallahassee makes it clear that Frederica is willing to fight for what she believes in and is ready to go to work for the communities of the 17th district. Frederica isn't afraid to show her personality, either -- she's famous for her colorful outfits and hats. The St. Petersburg Times notes, her collection "sends a clear if unspoken message to fellow lawmakers: I am here. And attention will be paid."
We can't wait to see those hats in Congress!
