EMILY's List Announces Support for Six Women for U.S. Congress

WASHINGTON, D.C. EMILY's List, the nation's largest grassroots political network and financial resource for women running for elective office, today announced its endorsement of six pro-choice Democratic women who will fight to take back Congress in 2006.

EMILY's List is thrilled to introduce the newest additions to its growing roster of progressive female candidates who are poised and ready to push the radical right out of Congress. In a climate of increasing public discontent, the opportunity to add more women to Congress and change the face of power in Washington has presented itself and EMILY's List members plan to take that opportunity by supporting the following women in their bids for Congress:

• Phyllis Busansky for Florida's 9th District
• Ember Reichgott Junge for Minnesota's 5th District
• Maxine Moul for Nebraska's 1st District
• Jill Derby for Nevada's 2nd District
• Yvette Clarke for New York's 11th District
• Judy Feder for Virginia's 10th District

EMILY's List is the largest political action committee in the nation. Since its founding in 1985, EMILY's List has helped elect 61 pro-choice Democratic women to the U.S. House, 11 to the U.S. Senate, and eight governors. In only ten election cycles, EMILY's List has helped elect hundreds of pro-choice Democratic women to federal office, state legislatures, state constitutional offices and other key local offices.
