EMILYs List Congratulates Senator Maria Cantwell on Her Re-Election Victory to the U.S. Senate

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today EMILYs List, the nation’s largest resource for women in politics, congratulated EMILYs List candidate Senator Maria Cantwell on being re-elected to represent Washington State in the U.S. Senate. Stephanie Schriock, president of EMILYs List, released the following statement:

“EMILYs List is proud to have supported Senator Cantwell since she first ran for the U.S. House over two decades ago. At every step of her career in public service, she has been a champion for the people of Washington State, from fighting for economic fairness and supporting paid family and medical leave to leading the way on hate crime legislation. Washingtonians have an ally in Senator Cantwell and EMILYs List is excited to congratulate her on a well-deserved victory as she continues to fight for Washington State.”

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.
