EMILYs List Congratulates Three Women on Their Election to the Montana Legislature

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, EMILY's List, the nation's largest resource for women in politics, celebrated the election of three pro-choice Democratic women to the Montana Legislature. Stephanie Schriock, president of EMILYs List, released the following statement:

“EMILYs List is thrilled to celebrate the election of these three outstanding leaders in my home state and to continue expanding women’s leadership across Montana. From fighting to protect our environment to advocating for women, working families, and rural communities, these women are proven champions for Montana whose victories were hard-earned and are well-deserved. We know that our government works better when we elect leaders who reflect our values and share our lived experiences, and EMILYs List is confident that these public servants will help build a legislature that is accountable and transparent. We are proud to congratulate them on their victories and can’t wait for them to get to work.” 

EMILYs List congratulates the following candidates on their victories:
Mary Ann Dunwell (HD-84)
Jen Gross (SD-25)
Edie McClafferty (SD-38)

EMILYs List, the nation’s largest resource for women in politics, has raised over $700 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 and helping build strong campaigns, researching the issues that impact women and families, running nearly $50 million in independent expenditures in the last cycle alone, and turning out women voters and voters of color to the polls. Since our founding in 1985, we have helped elect the country's first woman as vice president, 157 women to the House, 26 to the Senate, 16 governors, and more than 1,200 women to state and local office. More than 40 percent of the candidates EMILYs List has helped elect to Congress have been women of color. After the 2016 election, more than 60,000 women 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. In our effort to elect more women in offices across the country, we have created our Run to Win program, expanded our training program, including a Training Center online, and trained thousands of women.
