EMILYs List Endorses Four Women for Georgia General Assembly

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, EMILYs List, the nation’s largest resource for women in politics, endorsed four women for the Georgia General Assembly. Laphonza Butler, president of EMILYs List, released the following statement:

“I am thrilled to announce that EMILYs List has endorsed four pro-choice champions for the Georgia General Assembly. We know that they will work tirelessly to protect voting rights, improve educational outcomes, expand access to health care, and defend reproductive rights at a time when abortion access is being attacked across the country. We are confident that these candidates will promote opportunity and advance justice for all Georgians.”

EMILY's List endorsed the following slate of challengers and incumbents:

  • Luisa Wakeman (GA-SD06)
  • Lisa Campbell (GA-HD35)
  • Park Cannon (GA-HD58)
  • Ruwa Romman (GA-HD97)
     

EMILYs List, the nation’s largest resource for women in politics, has raised over $700 million to elect Democratic pro-choice 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 and helping build strong campaigns, researching the issues that impact women and families, running nearly $50 million in independent expenditures in the last cycle alone, and turning out women voters and voters of color 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 more than 1,300 women to state and local office. More than 40% of the candidates EMILYs List has helped elect to Congress have been women of color. After the 2016 election, more than 60,000 women 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. In our effort to elect more women in offices across the country, we have created our Run to Win program, expanded our training program, including a Training Center online, and trained thousands of women.
