EMILYs List Endorses Five Democratic Women for Lieutenant Governor in Key Democratic Holds

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today EMILYs List, the nation’s largest resource for women in politics, endorsed Lesley Dahlkemper for Colorado lieutenant governor, Susan Bysiewicz for Connecticut lieutenant governor, Kim Driscoll for Massachusetts lieutenant governor, Aruna Miller for Maryland lieutenant governor, and Sabina Matos for Rhode Island lieutenant governor, safeguarding Democratic lieutenant governors’ seats in key states. EMILYs List President Jessica Mackler released the following statement:

“EMILYs List women remain the center of the fight for Democratic power in 2026. As Republicans continue to push a billionaire-first agenda raising costs for working families and making life harder, it is more important than ever that we elect Democratic women up and down the ballot. Lesley Dahlkemper, Susan Bysiewicz, Kim Driscoll, Aruna Miller, and Sabina Matos have never backed down from a fight, and they are exactly the type of leaders we need to continue fighting for working families. EMILYs List is proud to endorse them in these critical fights and stand alongside them as they take on Trump’s harmful agenda, fight to lower costs, and help Democrats build power from the state level up.”

This slate builds on EMILYs List’s 2026 cycle endorsements of Sandra Jauregui for Nevada lieutenant governor, Adrienne Adams for New York lieutenant governor, Winnie Brinks for Michigan lieutenant governor, Stephanie Garcia Richard for New Mexico lieutenant governor, Sarah Godlewski for Wisconsin lieutenant governor, Vikki Goodwin for Texas lieutenant governor, and Gwen Graham for Florida lieutenant governor.
