WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, EMILYs List, the nation’s largest resource for women in politics, endorsed 14 more women leaders for the Colorado General Assembly. Stephanie Schriock, president of EMILYs List, released the following statement:
“EMILYs List is thrilled to endorse these 14 incredible women for the Colorado General Assembly. Since women helped Democrats take back the state Senate last cycle, Colorado has been at the forefront of progressive change with lawmakers taking decisive action on critical bills to support working families, protect small businesses, and address police brutality. These 14 women have long been committed to serving their communities and will be instrumental in the fight for a fairer, safer, and more inclusive Colorado once elected in November. They belong in Denver and EMILYs List looks forward to supporting them on the campaign trail.”

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.
