FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today EMILYs List, the nation’s largest resource for women in politics, is announcing an additional round of endorsements in the 2026 Minnesota state legislative races. EMILYs List President Jessica Mackler released the following statement:

“Minnesotans have faced relentless attacks from the Trump administration, yet time and again they have shown that when communities come together, they cannot be silenced. EMILYs List is proud to endorse these six bold leaders who will fight for Minnesotans every day in the state legislature. With some of the narrowest legislative margins in the nation – a one-seat Senate majority and a tied House – these women are ready to flip critical seats and build Democratic majorities with governing power this November. We are proud to support each of them in this election as they fight to defend the rights and freedoms of Minnesota families from Trump and his cruel policies.”
