EMILY's List is dedicated to building a progressive America by electing pro-choice Democratic women to office.

EMILY's List is committed to a three-pronged strategy to elect pro-choice Democratic women: recruiting and funding viable women candidates; helping them build and run effective campaign organizations; and mobilizing women voters to help elect progressive candidates across the nation.

Over the course of 23 years, we've helped elect 15 Democratic women senators, 78 Democratic congresswomen, 9 women governors, and hundreds of women to state and local office. And this year, we have incredible opportunities to elect more pro-choice Democratic women to represent our progressive values.
