EMILYs List Congratulates Shannon Taylor on her Primary Victory in Virginia’s 1st Congressional District 

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Following Shannon Taylor’s decisive win in the Democratic primary for Virginia’s 1st Congressional District, EMILYs List President Jessica Mackler released the following statement:

“While Republican incumbent Rob Wittman has spent nearly 20 years in Congress giving himself tax breaks and growing his net worth 40 times over while voting to gut healthcare and raise costs for working families, Shannon Taylor has a proven record of fighting for Virginians and keeping her community safe. As Henrico’s top prosecutor, she has taken on the corrupt and powerful, and now she is ready to do it again in Congress. EMILYs List congratulates Shannon on her primary victory, and we’re all in to help her defeat Rob Wittman, flip this seat, and help take back the U.S. House.”
