WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today EMILYs List, the nation’s largest resource for women in politics, congratulated Annie Kuster on advancing to the general election in New Hampshire’s 2nd Congressional District. Stephanie Schriock, president of EMILYs List,released the following statement: 

“Since becoming the first woman to represent New Hampshire’s 2nd District in 2012, Annie Kuster has been an unwavering champion for women and working families. In Congress, Annie has been a strong voice for the people of her district and fought for policies that defend working families’ economic security and increase education opportunities. EMILYs List is proud to continue our steadfast support for Annie as she advances to the general election.”

EMILYs List, the nation’s largest resource for women in politics, has raised over $500 million to support pro-choice Democratic women candidates – making them one of the most successful political organizations ever. Our grassroots community of over five million members helps Democratic women wage competitive campaigns – and win. We recruit and train candidates, support strong campaigns, research the issues that impact women and families, and turn out women voters. Since our founding in 1985, we have helped elect 116 women to the House, 23 to the Senate, 12 governors, and over 800 to state and local office. Forty percent of the candidates EMILYs List has helped elect to Congress have been women of color. Since the 2016 election, thousands of women and counting have reached out to us about running for office. To harness this energy, EMILYs List has launched Run to Win, an unprecedented effort to get more women to run at the local, state, and national levels.
