EMILYs List Endorses Four Women Leaders for the Kansas House of Representatives

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, EMILYs List, the nation’s largest resource for women in politics, endorsed four women leaders for the Kansas House of Representatives. Stephanie Schriock, president of EMILYs List, released the following statement: 

“EMILYs List is thrilled to endorse four phenomenal women leaders in Kansas. As we saw in 2018 with the election of Governor Laura Kelly and Congresswoman Sharice Davids, and as we are seeing now with the strength of Barbara Bollier’s campaign for the U.S. Senate, Kansas voters are eager to elect more women to office. As trailblazers, community organizers, and lifelong public servants, these four women are the epitome of strong leadership. In the Kansas House, they will fight for more inclusive policies that prioritize women and working families. They are the progressive champions Kansans deserve as representatives and we are proud to stand with them.” 

EMILYs List endorsed the following women: 
Christina Haswood (HD-10)
Lindsay Vaughn (HD-22)
Katie Dixon (HD-49) 
Carol Brewer (HD-98) 

EMILYs List, the nation’s largest resource for women in politics, has raised over $600 million to elect pro-choice Democratic women candidates. With a grassroots community of over five million members, EMILY's List helps Democratic women win competitive campaigns – across the country and up and down the ballot – by recruiting and training candidates, supporting strong campaigns, researching the issues that impact women and families, and turning out women voters to the polls. Since our founding in 1985, we have helped elect 150 women to the House, 26 to the Senate, 16 governors, and nearly 1,100 women to state and local office. Nearly 40 percent of the candidates EMILYs List has helped elect to Congress have been women of color. During the historic 2017-2018 cycle, EMILYs List raised a record-breaking $110 million and launched a record independent expenditure campaign. We helped elect 34 new women to the House, including 24 red-to-blue victories; enough seats to have delivered the U.S. House majority alone. Since the 2016 election, more than 55,000 women have reached out to EMILY's List about running for office laying the groundwork for the next decade of candidates for local, state, and national offices.
