WASHINGTON, D.C. – EMILYs List, the nation’s largest resource for women in politics, endorsed Tracey Breazeale and six other Democratic pro-choice women for election to the Minnesota state Legislature. EMILYs List President Jessica Mackler released the following statement:
“EMILYs List is proud to endorse these Democratic pro-choice women to the Minnesota state Legislature. Each of them is prepared to protect reproductive freedom in Minnesota and fight back against the state’s extremist Republicans who are doing everything in their power to roll back our rights. It is critical that we elect these women to safeguard Democratic control and continue the important work–championing accessible health care, creating safer communities, and defending our fundamental freedoms–in the Democratic-led state Legislature. They are leaders and advocates, and EMILYs List is confident in the work each of these women will do to ensure freedom and equality for every Minnesotan.”
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.
