EMILYs List Congratulates Senator Mazie Hirono on Her Re-election Victory in Hawai’i

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today EMILYs List, the nation’s largest resource for women in politics, congratulated EMILYs List candidate Senator Mazie Hirono on her re-election victory in Hawai’i. Stephanie Schriock, president of EMILYs List, released the following statement:

“Senator Hirono is a tireless fighter for the women and working families of Hawai’i, and has been a critical ally when it comes to pushing back on Donald Trump and his anti-choice judicial nominees. She has always been a leader but since 2016, she has been an outspoken advocate for those negatively impacted by Trump and his administration. She is a pro-choice champion and EMILYs List has been proud to stand with her for over a decade. We are thrilled to congratulate Senator Hirono on her victory tonight and we look forward to her continued leadership in the U.S. Senate.” 

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.
