November 4, 2026

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Following Sarah Trone Garriott’s vital win flipping Iowa’s 3rd Congressional District, EMILYs List President Jessica Mackler released the following statement celebrating her victory:

“EMILYs List proudly congratulates Sarah Trone Garriott on her victory in Iowa’s 3rd Congressional District. Sarah has built a winning record in tough races by connecting with voters, delivering for her community, and putting working families first. As a mom, minister, and proven champion for Iowans, she knows what it takes to flip Republican-held seats and win tough territory. Her victory is a testament to the strength of her candidacy and underscores how strong women candidates like Sarah are essential to securing the House majority.”

EMILYs List’s Mission Majority initiative put Democratic women at the center of an aggressive strategy to flip the U.S. House and reclaim the majority. EMILYs List led the effort to expand the battleground map, backing 26 Majority Makers in key competitive districts and tougher Republican-held terrain where strong women candidates could deliver the seats Democrats needed to win the House. We built that strategy by providing strategic guidance, critical resources, and targeted fundraising and communications support to help candidates compete and win.
