EMILYs List Statement on Wisconsin’s State Election Results

WASHINGTON, D.C. – EMILYs List, the nation’s largest resource for women in politics, congratulated four EMILYs List candidates on their well-deserved victories for the Wisconsin state Legislature. Stephanie Schriock, president of EMILYs List, released the following statement:

“EMILYs List congratulates our endorsed candidates on their victories across Wisconsin. These women have diverse backgrounds and experiences but share a commitment to advocating on behalf of their communities. With the end of Scott Walker’s disastrous agenda and progressive candidates leading the way from the governor’s office to the state legislature, these women will be champions for Wisconsin families, and we look forward to seeing their accomplishments.”

EMILYs List congratulates the following candidates on their victories: 

Janet Bewley (SD-25)
Marisabel Cabrera (AD-09)
Beth Meyers (AD-74)
Jodi Emerson (AD-91)

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.
