Women We Helped Elect
EMILY's List wins elections. Since our founding, we have helped elect 70 pro-choice Democratic women members of Congress, 13 senators, 8 governors, and 364 women to state and local office.
EMILY's List has also become the largest financial resource for minority women seeking federal office. Click here to learn more about our work with women in color seeking office.
