EMILYs List Congratulates Sarah Godlewski on Her Victory for State Treasurer of Wisconsin

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today EMILYs List, the nation’s largest resource for women in politics, congratulated EMILYs List candidate Sarah Godlewski on her election as Wisconsin’s state treasurer. Stephanie Schriock, president of EMILYs List, released the following statement:

“EMILYs List is excited to congratulate Sarah Godlewski on her victory. With her experience as a small business owner and her financial expertise, Sarah will undoubtedly be a sharp fiscal watchdog, investing in the state’s potential and making sure Wisconsin’s taxpayer dollars are put to good use. As a first-time candidate, Sarah will be a fresh face fighting for the women and working families of Wisconsin.”

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.
