EMILYs List Congratulates Senator Debbie Stabenow on Her Re-Election Victory for U.S. Senate
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today EMILYs List, the nation’s largest resource for women in politics, congratulated EMILYs List candidate Senator Debbie Stabenow on being re-elected to represent Michigan in the U.S. Senate. Stephanie Schriock, president of EMILYs List, released the following statement:
“Senator Debbie Stabenow has spent her life as a champion for Michiganders and they approve of her leadership in office. She has relentlessly worked to reform the nation’s health care system, expand Michigan’s economy, and protect the environment. EMILYs List is proud to congratulate Senator Stabenow, an EMILYs List candidate since 1996, on her re-election as she continues to be a dedicated public servant for the people of the Great Lakes State.”
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.
