EMILYs List Congratulates JoAnna Mendoza on Her Critical Victory Flipping Arizona’s 6th Congressional District

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

WASHINGTON, D.C. – WASHINGTON, D.C. – Following JoAnna Mendoza’s critical win flipping Arizona’s 6th Congressional District, EMILYs List President Jessica Mackler released the following statement:

“EMILYs List congratulates JoAnna Mendoza on her victory in Arizona’s 6th Congressional District. As a single mom and retired Marine, JoAnna has dedicated her life to serving others and she’ll bring that same commitment to Congress by fighting to lower costs, make healthcare more affordable, and deliver for southern Arizona’s working families. Her victory is a critical step toward taking back the U.S. House, and we’re proud to have helped elect a leader who will stand up for Arizona families.”

EMILYs List’s Mission Majority initiative put Democratic women at the center of an aggressive strategy to flip the U.S. House and reclaim the majority. EMILYs List led the effort to expand the battleground map, backing 26 Majority Makers in key competitive districts and tougher Republican-held terrain where strong women candidates could deliver the seats Democrats needed to win the House. We built that strategy by providing strategic guidance, critical resources, and targeted fundraising and communications support to help candidates compete and win.
