EMILYs List Congratulates Five Candidates Running for the Ohio House of Representatives on Advancing to the General Election

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today EMILYs List, the nation’s largest resource for women in politics, congratulates five women for advancing to the general election for the Ohio House of Representatives. EMILYs List President Laphonza Butler released the following statement:
 
“EMILYs List is thrilled that five candidates in Ohio will be advancing to the general election as they run to represent their communities in the Ohio House of Representatives. We know each and every one of these Democratic pro-choice women will stand up for reproductive rights and fight back against Republican efforts to ban abortion and further decimate access to essential health care. Abortion is on the ballot in Ohio and we’re proud to support these candidates as they continue their campaigns through November.”
 
EMILY's List congratulates the following slate of challengers and incumbents:

  • Juanita Brent (OH-HD22)
  • Rachel Baker (OH-HD27)
  • Nancy Larson (OH-HD41)
  • Erika White (OH-HD42)
  • Lauren McNally (OH-HD59)

EMILYs List, the nation’s largest resource for women in politics, has raised over $700 million to elect Democratic pro-choice 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, 159 women to the House, 26 to the Senate, 16 governors, and more than 1,300 women to state and local office. More than 40% 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.
