EMILYs List Endorses 10 Women Leaders for Election to the Ohio General Assembly

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, EMILYs List, the nation’s largest resource for women in politics, endorsed 10 women leaders for election to the Ohio General Assembly. Stephanie Schriock, president of EMILYs List, released the following statement:

“Access to reproductive freedom is at a critical tipping point in Ohio. For years while Republicans pursued an extreme agenda focused on stripping women of their reproductive rights, progressive Democratic women have been leading the charge against their endless attacks and boldly standing up for working families. These 10 outstanding women will be strong voices in the state legislature and will work hard to hold Republicans accountable. Their leadership in the Buckeye State is more important than ever and EMILYs List is proud to support their bids for election.”

EMILYs List endorsed the following slate of candidates:

Reem Subei (SD-02)
Crystal Lett (SD-16)
Janine Boyd (HD-09)
Juanita Brent (HD-12)
Mary Lightbody (HD-19)
Beth Liston (HD-21)
Allison Russo (HD-24)

EMILYs List, the nation’s largest resource for women in politics, has raised over $600 million to elect pro-choice Democratic women candidates. With a grassroots community of over five million members, EMILY's List helps Democratic women win competitive campaigns – across the country and up and down the ballot – by recruiting and training candidates, supporting strong campaigns, researching the issues that impact women and families, and turning out women voters to the polls. Since our founding in 1985, we have helped elect 150 women to the House, 26 to the Senate, 16 governors, and nearly 1,100 women to state and local office. Nearly 40 percent of the candidates EMILYs List has helped elect to Congress have been women of color. During the historic 2017-2018 cycle, EMILYs List raised a record-breaking $110 million and launched a record independent expenditure campaign. We helped elect 34 new women to the House, including 24 red-to-blue victories; enough seats to have delivered the U.S. House majority alone. Since the 2016 election, more than 50,000 women have reached out to EMILY's List about running for office laying the groundwork for the next decade of candidates for local, state and national offices.
