EMILYs List Congratulates Eileen Filler-Corn on Her Re-Election to Virginia House District 41

WASHINGTON, D.C. — As races continue to be called in favor of pro-choice Democratic women across Virginia, EMILYs List, the nation’s largest resource for women in politics, congratulated Leader Eileen Filler-Corn on her victory in Virginia’s 41st House District. EMILY's List President Stephanie Schriock released the following statement:

“EMILYs List is proud to congratulate Leader Eileen Filler-Corn on her re-election victory. Since taking office, Eileen has been a leader in moving Virginia forward and a trailblazer as the first woman to serve as Leader of the House Democratic Caucus.  Virginia families can be confident she will continue to fight for affordable health care and accessible transportation that works for all Virginians.”

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 50,000 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.
