EMILYs List Congratulates Julie Blaha on Her Victory for Minnesota State Auditor 

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today EMILYs List, the nation’s largest resource for women in politics, congratulated EMILYs List candidate Julie Blaha on being elected Minnesota state auditor. Stephanie Schriock, president of EMILYs List, released the following statement:

“EMILYs List is proud to congratulate Julie Blaha on her victory. Whether it’s as a former math teacher, as secretary-treasurer of the Minnesota AFL-CIO, or now, as state auditor, Julie’s inspiring passion and continued devotion to empowering local communities to succeed will serve Minnesotan families well. We’re excited for all that she will accomplish.”

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.
