EMILY's List Statement on Ann Kirkpatrick’s Victory in Arizona’s 2nd Congressional District

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, EMILYs List, the nation’s largest resource for women in politics, congratulated Ann Kirkpatrick on being reelected to represent Arizona’s 2nd Congressional District in the U.S. House. Stephanie Schriock, president of EMILYs List, released the following statement: 

“Congresswoman Ann Kirkpatrick is a resilient leader and a true champion for Arizona, and EMILYs List is proud to congratulate her on her reelection. A lifelong public servant and a tireless advocate for affordable health care, Native American rights, and veterans affairs, she puts people before politics. We are grateful for Ann’s leadership and we are thrilled to see all that she will accomplish in the 117th Congress.”

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 60,000 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.
