EMILYs List Congratulates Kathy Tran on Her Re-Election to Virginia House District 42
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 Del. Kathy Tran on her victory in Virginia’s 42nd House District. EMILY's List President Stephanie Schriock released the following statement:
“We’re thrilled to congratulate Del. Kathy Tran on her well deserved re-election in Virginia’s 42nd House District. Kathy is a fierce advocate for women and families, and with her in office, Virginians have a delegate they can count on to move the community toward progress. EMILYs List is proud to congratulate Kathy on her victory tonight.”
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.
