EMILYs List Congratulates Shannon Taylor on Her Victory in the Race for Virginia’s 1st Congressional District

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Following Shannon Taylor’s decisive win flipping Virginia’s 1st Congressional District, EMILYs List President Jessica Mackler released the following statement celebrating her victory:

“EMILYs List proudly congratulates Shannon Taylor on flipping Virginia’s 1st Congressional District, a critical pickup on the path to a U.S. House majority. EMILYs List has stood with Shannon from the start as she ran on a clear message: lower costs, protect affordable healthcare, and take on the corruption that lets politicians and powerful interests profit while Virginia families pay the price. As Henrico County’s top prosecutor, she has spent her career fighting to keep her community safe and after defeating a nearly 20-year incumbent, she is ready to take that same fight to Congress. EMILYs List is proud to have stood with Shannon in this fight and help flip this seat for a representative who will put Virginians first.”

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.
