EMILYs List Congratulates Governor Kate Brown on Her Re-election Victory in Oregon

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today EMILYs List, the nation’s largest resource for women in politics, congratulated EMILYs List candidate Governor Kate Brown on her re-election victory in Oregon. Stephanie Schriock, president of EMILYs List, released the following statement:

“Time and time again Governor Kate Brown has proven that she is a champion for the women and working families of Oregon. As governor, she has led the way in expanding voting rights, ensuring economic success, and ensuring that all Oregonians’ voices are heard in Salem. EMILYs List is thrilled that Governor Brown will continue to lead Oregon and move this state forward for women and working families.”

EMILYs List donated $550,000 to Kate Brown’s re-election campaign.

EMILYs List, the nation’s largest resource for women in politics, has raised over $500 million to support pro-choice Democratic women candidates – making them one of the most successful political organizations ever. Our grassroots community of over five million members helps Democratic women wage competitive campaigns – and win. We recruit and train candidates, support strong campaigns, research the issues that impact women and families, and turn out women voters. Since our founding in 1985, we have helped elect 116 women to the House, 23 to the Senate, 12 governors, and over 800 to state and local office. Forty percent of the candidates EMILYs List has helped elect to Congress have been women of color. Since the 2016 election, thousands of women and counting have reached out to us about running for office. To harness this energy, EMILYs List has launched Run to Win, an unprecedented effort to get more women to run at the local, state, and national levels.
