Well, it was a night we won't soon forget: we kept our majority in the Senate with a huge victory for Barbara Boxer, but we lost the House and some of the amazing women you've helped elect. I know that you've all put so much into supporting our candidates this cycle, so I wanted to share some initial thoughts with you.

When I was on the road with Terri, she spoke again and again about the difference the EMILY’s List community is making in her race. And she wasn’t just saying that for my benefit! Every chance she got, she told her other supporters, staff members, and potential constituents how EMILY’s List has truly helped her level the playing field and run a strong campaign.
