EMILYs List Endorses Five Women Leaders for Reelection to the Montana Legislature

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, EMILYs List, the nation’s largest resource for women in politics, endorsed five women leaders for reelection to the Montana Legislature. Stephanie Schriock, president of EMILYs List, released the following statement: 

“EMILYs List is thrilled to endorse these five women leaders for reelection from my home state. Whether they are fighting to improve public education, protect workers, or increase access to quality health care, these women are powerful advocates for their communities. They are remarkable public servants and champions for change who will continue to put Montanans first, and I am so proud that EMILY's List is supporting their bids for reelection.” 

EMILYs List endorsed the following women:
Margie MacDonald (SD-26)

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.
