EMILY’s LIST ENDORSES FIVE MORE CANDIDATES FOR ELECTION IN FLORIDA

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today EMILYs List, the nation’s largest resource for women in politics, endorsed five additional candidates for election in Florida. EMILYs List President Laphonza Butler released the following statement:
 
“We are thrilled to endorse five more women for election in Florida. Florida Republicans have enacted an extreme abortion ban and will go further in their efforts to strip people of their right to choose, making the results of this upcoming election critical for the future of reproductive freedom in Florida. We know these pro-choice candidates will work hard to secure access to reproductive health care for Floridians across the state.”

EMILY's List endorsed the following slate of candidates: 

  • Karla Hernández (FL-Lieutenant Governor)
  • Allison Miller (FL-6th Judicial Circuit State Attorney)
  • Sarah Henry (FL-HD38)
  • LaVon Bracy Davis (FL-HD40)
  • Katherine Waldron (FL-HD93)

These endorsements are in addition to the previously endorsed EMILYs List legislative candidates headed to the general election in Florida: Angie Nixon (FL-HD13), Hillary Cassel (FL-HD101), Kelly Skidmore (FL-HD92), Tracie Davis (FL-SD05), Anna Eskamani (FL-HD42), Eunic Ortiz (FL-SD18), Fentrice Driskell (FL-HD67), Janelle Perez (FL-SD38), Janet Cruz (FL-SD14), Jen McDonald (FL-HD65), Johanna López (FL-HD43), Joy Goff-Marcil (FL-SD10), Linda Thompson Gonzalez (FL-HD100), Lindsay Cross (FL-HD60), Loranne Ausley (FL-SD03), Michele Rayner (FL-HD62), Raquel Pacheco (FL-SD36), Tiffany Hughes (FL-HD39).

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 over $700 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 campaigns 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, 159 women to the House, 26 to the Senate, 16 governors, and nearly 1,400 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.
