EMILY's List Statement on Kendra Horn's Primary Victory in Oklahoma's 5th Congressional District

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, EMILYs List, the nation’s largest resource for women in politics, congratulated Kendra Horn on advancing to the general election in Oklahoma’s 5th Congressional District. Stephanie Schriock, president of EMILYs List, released the following statement:  

“EMILYs List is thrilled to congratulate Congresswoman Kendra Horn on advancing one step closer to reelection. Since becoming the first Democratic woman to represent Oklahoma in the U.S. House, Kendra has fought to bring support and much-needed resources to Oklahoma’s businesses and aerospace industry. As a member of Congress, she has worked tirelessly on behalf of her constituents, from delivering for military families and providing resources for those affected by COVID-19.  EMILYs List is confident that she will continue to serve as a champion for working families when she is reelected in November.” 

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.
