EMILYs List Candidates Continue to Crush Fundraising in the Third Fiscal Quarter

WASHINGTON, D.C. – EMILYs List candidates continue to report groundbreaking fundraising numbers from the third fiscal quarter of the year. Stephanie Schriock, president of EMILYs List, released the following statement: 

“It’s clear from the groundbreaking money our candidates have raised throughout this election cycle that 2018 was a sea change for women's political leadership. Our women candidates are gaining momentum in the toughest of races, and thanks to their inspiring grassroots campaigns, states like Missouri, Texas, and North Carolina are top flip opportunities for Democrats. Voters are excited to support problem solvers like our candidates who are committed to fighting for affordable health care and serving working families. EMILYs List is confident their campaigns will continue to pick up speed, and we look forward to crossing the finish line with them this November.”

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.
