FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today EMILYs List, the nation’s largest resource for women in politics, endorsed Laurel Jordan Swift for election to the Texas House of Representatives District 121. EMILYs List President Jessica Mackler released the following statement:
“EMILYs List is proud to endorse Laurel Jordan Swift for election to the Texas state House. Texas has one of the strictest abortion bans in the nation, so it’s critical that we elect Democratic pro-choice women to fight against anti-abortion extremists in the state. We know that Jordan Swift will work overtime to restore Texans’ reproductive freedoms and we are thrilled to support her in this consequential election.”
Laurel Jordan Swift is a life-long resident of San Antonio.

Jordan Swift joins three other Democratic pro-choice women endorsed by EMILYs List for the Texas state House this cycle: Mihaela Plesa (TX-HD70), Averie Bishop (TX-HD112), and Kristian Carranza (TX-HD118).
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.
