A rising star who works hard in the trenches

Immediately after taking Hillary Clinton’s former Senate seat, Senator Kirsten Gillibrand quickly established herself as a leader on reproductive freedom, LGBT rights and health care reform. Her progressive leadership has earned her numerous key endorsements and given her campaign serious momentum.

A tenacious campaigner with deep Empire State roots

Raised in upstate New York in a family committed to public service, Gillibrand was the chair of the Women’s Leadership Forum Network before boldly challenging and defeating an entrenched Republican incumbent in New York’s 20th district in 2006 with help from EMILY's List.

A center-stage re-election battle

A proven campaigner who’s built an impressive grassroots network, Gillibrand knows how to win. But this is a volatile race, with new names thrown into the mix every day on both sides! Gillibrand needs the immediate support of EMILY’s List members to hold on to this Senate seat in November.
