About us
EMILYs List, the nation’s largest resource for women in politics, works to elect Democratic pro-choice women up and down the ballot and across the country with a goal of fighting for our rights and our communities. Our work is centered around a fundamental vision: Run. Win. Change the World. EMILYs List has raised $850 million in service to that vision and has helped Democratic women win competitive elections by recruiting and training candidates, supporting and helping build strong campaigns, researching the issues that impact women and families, running one of the largest independent expenditure operations for Democrats, and turning out women voters to the polls. Since our founding in 1985, we have helped elect the country’s first woman as vice president, 175 women to the House, 26 to the Senate, 20 governors, and over 1,500 women to state and local office. More than 40% of the candidates EMILYs List has helped elect to Congress have been women of color. Visit www.emilyslist.org for more information.

As someone who has spent time trying to define previous VP picks like Palin and Pence, this is a really important and strategic move by Vice President Harris. We know that Trump is trying to mislead voters on his agenda, particularly around reproductive freedom. And his team is likely to frame this pick (falsely) as a way to reach out to moderate voters. In past elections, we've seen that the early framing of a VP pick is often around the softer side of their bio and/or the strategy behind the pick. We need to make sure NOW that voters understand what these VP picks stand for and what they will mean for the ticket. We're proud to do this work at EMILYs List through our VP On Notice program, and we've seen the DNC do this work as well, but by doing it from the VP, this work and their records/plans will get more attention. It also makes the contrast even more clear between VP Harris and any one of Trump's picks: one is a steadfast advocate for reproductive rights and one has supported efforts to roll those rights back--and is joining a ticket that clearly will do the same. https://lnkd.in/eFVTaNNy

“We are better governed when our legislative bodies look like the constituencies they represent…to bring all perspectives to the decision-making table.” It’s no secret that our elected officials need to reflect the voices of ALL Americans, and that’s why we’re working hard to elect Angela Alsobrooks and Lisa Blunt Rochester this November! https://lnkd.in/gcg87AzU
