EMILYs List Statement on Florida’s Down-Ballot Primary Election Results

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, EMILYs List, the nation’s largest resource for women in politics, congratulated 17 women on advancing to the general election for the Florida Legislature and Daniella Levine Cava as she advances to a runoff election for Miami-Dade County mayor. Stephanie Schriock, president of EMILYs List, released the following statement:

“EMILYs List is thrilled to congratulate 17 women leaders on advancing to the general election for the Florida Legislature and Daniella Levine Cava as she advances to a runoff election for Miami-Dade County mayor. Democrats only need to flip four seats to turn the Florida Senate blue, and we are proud to stand with the women who are poised to help get the job done. EMILYs List has placed Florida Senate Republicans “On Notice” for their shameful record of voting to strip women of their reproductive freedoms. We look forward to helping flip the state Senate, increasing the representation of pro-choice Democratic women in the state House, and electing Daniella Levine Cava as the first woman mayor of Miami-Dade County this fall.”

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 55,000 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.
