Statement by Ellen R. Malcolm on Kalyn Free's Defeat in the Oklahoma Primary
"Today, we congratulate Kayln Free on a hard fought campaign. Her dedication to protecting the defenseless and preserving justice and prosperity for all would have made her an outstanding representative for Oklahoma. Though her campaign ends today, Kalyn's impact has been significant. We know that her work on behalf of women and families will continue. EMILY's List is proud of the role its members have played in breaking new ground for women candidates in Oklahoma and around the country and we remain determined to elect the first Native American woman to Congress. Regardless of the outcome, each fight moves us all forward and smoothes the road for the next woman to take the path. So we will keep up the fight for the wins today and continue to invest in victory for the future."
