EMILYs List Congratulates Peggy Flanagan on Her Victory in the Minnesota U.S. Senate Race

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Following Minnesota Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan’s decisive win in the Minnesota U.S. Senate race, EMILYs List President Jessica Mackler released the following statement:

“EMILYs List proudly congratulates Peggy Flanagan on her historic victory, becoming the first Native woman to represent Minnesota in the U.S. Senate. Peggy has spent her career fighting for Minnesotans, and she’ll bring that same determination to the Senate at a moment when working families need a strong voice and Washington needs leaders willing to hold Donald Trump and his allies accountable. Her election is a powerful example of what women’s political leadership looks like: meeting the moment, standing up to entrenched power, and fighting for families who too often get left behind. EMILYs List has been proud to support Peggy throughout her political career, and we look forward to continuing that partnership as she takes this fight to the Senate.”
