EMILY’s List Statement on Continued Support for Speaker Nancy Pelosi

The following is a statement from EMILY's List President Stephanie Schriock.

"Under Speaker Pelosi's leadership Congress passed some of the most significant legislation in decades, including health care reform that keeps women and their families healthier, and Wall Street reform that prevents corporations from preying on families. We are pleased and proud that Speaker Pelosi will continue to steer the Democratic Party as we continue to battle for progress for women and their families."

In the 2009-2010 cycle, EMILY's List raised more than $38.5 million to support its mission of recruiting and supporting women candidates, helping them build strong campaigns, and mobilizing women voters to turn out and vote. With a community of more than 600,000 members across the country, EMILY's List is one of the largest political action committees in the nation. Since its founding in 1985, EMILY's List has worked to elect 84 pro-choice Democratic women to the U.S. House, 16 to the U.S. Senate, nine governors, and hundreds of women to the state legislatures, state constitutional offices, and other key local offices. In the 2009-2010 cycle, EMILY's List had the largest number of members and donors in our 25 year history.
