November 6, 2024

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today EMILYs List, the nation’s largest resource for women in politics, congratulates state Rep. Mihaela Plesa on her reelection to the Texas state House. EMILYs List President Jessica Mackler released the following statement:

“EMILYs List is proud to congratulate state Rep. Mihaela Plesa on her reelection. With one of the strictest abortion bans in the nation, it is imperative that we have Democratic pro-choice women in the state legislature to combat anti-abortion extremists and restore Texans’ reproductive freedoms. We are excited to watch the change she will continue to bring to the Texas state House.”

EMILYs List previously supported Plesa for her election to the Texas state House in 2022. 

EMILYs List, the nation’s largest resource for women in politics, works to elect Democratic pro-choice women up and down the ballot and across the country with a goal of fighting for our rights and our communities. Our work is centered around a fundamental vision: Run. Win. Change the World. EMILYs List has raised $850 million in service to that vision and has helped Democratic women win competitive elections by recruiting and training candidates, supporting and helping build strong campaigns, researching the issues that impact women and families, running one of the largest independent expenditure operations for Democrats, and turning out women voters to the polls. Since our founding in 1985, we have helped elect the country’s first woman as vice president, 175 women to the House, 26 to the Senate, 20 governors, and over 1,500 women to state and local office. More than 40% of the candidates EMILYs List has helped elect to Congress have been women of color. Visit www.emilyslist.org for more information.
