EMILYs List Endorses Six Candidates for Election to the New York State Senate
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today EMILYs List, the nation’s largest resource for women in politics, endorsed six women for election to the New York state Senate. EMILYs List President Laphonza Butler released the following statement:
“EMILYs List is thrilled to announce our endorsement of six women to the New York state Senate. Incumbent Sens. Anna Kaplan, Toby Ann Stavisky, Cordell Cleare, Michelle Hinchey, and Samra Brouk have worked tirelessly to make New York an abortion sanctuary for those forced to travel to access care, and we know that we can count on Kaegan Mays-Williams to work with them as the fight to restore reproductive rights continues in this country. We are proud to endorse this slate of distinguished leaders, and even prouder to see the significant impact that their work has on the people of New York every day.”
EMILY's List endorsed the following slate of candidates:
- Anna Kaplan (NY-SD07)
- Toby Ann Stavisky (NY-SD11)
- Kaegan Mays-Williams (NY-SD21)

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.
