EMILY's List Statement on Martha McSally's Promise to Repeal the Affordable Care Act

Washington, D.C.—Today in an interview with Fox News, Arizona Republican Senate nominee Martha McSally promised that if elected, she will work to repeal the Affordable Care Act. Christina Reynolds, EMILY's List vice president of communications released the following statement: 

“In an era in which Republicans are trying to mislead voters around their actual positions on health care, take Martha McSally's word for it. A McSally win means undermining health care protections and taking away health care for far too many Arizonans. It's never been more important to elect health care champions like Kyrsten Sinema.”

EMILYs List, the nation’s largest resource for women in politics, has raised over $500 million to support pro-choice Democratic women candidates – making them one of the most successful political organizations ever. Our grassroots community of over five million members helps Democratic women wage competitive campaigns – and win. We recruit and train candidates, support strong campaigns, research the issues that impact women and families, and turn out women voters. Since our founding in 1985, we have helped elect 116 women to the House, 23 to the Senate, 12 governors, and over 800 to state and local office. Forty percent of the candidates EMILYs List has helped elect to Congress have been women of color. Since the 2016 election, thousands of women and counting have reached out to us about running for office. To harness this energy, EMILYs List has launched Run to Win, an unprecedented effort to get more women to run at the local, state, and national levels.
