EMILYs List Congratulates Haley Stevens on Her Victory in Michigan’s 11th Congressional District

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today EMILYs List, the nation’s largest resource for women in politics, congratulated EMILYs List candidate Haley Stevens on being elected to represent Michigan’s 11th Congressional District in the U.S. House. Stephanie Schriock, president of EMILYs List, released the following statement:

“EMILYs List is proud to congratulate Haley Stevens on a well-deserved victory. She has flipped this key open seat from red to blue and will be the first woman to represent Michigan's 11th District. Haley is a leader in workforce development and is dedicated to expanding economic opportunity throughout her community. She understands the toughest issues facing the district and will ensure that women and working families have a voice.”

Women Vote, EMILY's List's independent expenditure arm, invested nearly $600,000 in an independent expenditure TV campaign.

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.
