EMILYs List Congratulates Liz Snyder on Her Election to the Alaska House of Representatives

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, EMILY's List, the nation's largest resource for women in politics, celebrated the election of Liz Snyder (HD-27) to the Alaska House of Representatives. Stephanie Schriock, president of EMILYs List, released the following statement:

“EMILYs List is proud to congratulate Liz Snyder on her hard-fought victory in the race for House District 27 in the Alaska House of Representatives. Now more than ever, we need dedicated public servants like Liz, who are willing to work across party lines to protect working families, create jobs, and support rural communities. We know she will move Alaska forward in the state House, and we look forward to her leadership during the next legislative session.” 

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.
