Terri Sewell

We're celebrating exciting news out of Alabama today, where Terri Sewell came out on top in a four-way primary race to fill the open seat in AL-07.

Here's how the votes broke down:

Terri Sewell -- 36.8%
Earl Hilliard, Jr. -- 26.9%
Shelia Smoot -- 28.5%
Martha Bozeman -- 7.8%

When it comes to a good cause, the Congressional Women's Caucus has one thing to say: play ball!

The annual game benefits the Young Survival Coalition, a breast cancer charity. This year, the Women Members took on the ladies of the DC press corps, with a special appearance by Justice Sonia Sotomayor, who threw out the first pitch.

What a week, what a week! We started with Terri Sewell's awesome showing in Alabama -- I could not be more impressed with Terri's energy and determination -- it is inspiring.

Excited to be en route to Alabama to spend some time with EMILY's List candidate Terri Sewell!

Terri's running for Congress in the state's 7th congressional district, and she's got a tough primary fight just around the corner. I'm on the ground to spend some time with Terri on the campaign trail, so you can get a behind-the-scenes look at Terri's life as a candidate.

A safely Democratic district like AL-07 provides one of the best opportunities we have to elect a new pro-choice Democratic woman to Congress. And because Alabama has never elected a woman to Congress in her own right, Terri is poised to make history.

We put together a special album of behind-the-scenes photos from our time on the road with the Sewell campaign. Terri brings remarkable passion and energy to this race -- and we're thrilled to be standing with her.
