Lucas,
For me, EMILY's List has always been like family. You were with me since I first ran for a seat in the Arizona House of Representatives. Every step of the way, EMILY's List has always asked: "What can we do to help?"
I've seen it time after time -- EMILY's List is there for Democratic women facing tough fights at every level of government. Will you join me and make sure women running for office -- from city council to President -- get the support they need?
EMILY's List was there to help my good friend Kirsten Gillibrand become a Congresswoman and now Senator of New York. They supported another good friend of mine, Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, as she rose to chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee.
And, today, I am in Washington to help them recognize Georgia House Minority Leader Stacey Abrams with the Rising Star Award -- an honor given to a woman with a promising future of public service ahead of her -- at this year's We Are EMILY event.
That's why I'm proud to be part of this community -- EMILY's List is there from the very beginning and sticks with us when the going gets tough, not just when a victory is in the bag.
I know that monthly deadlines are important, but it's as crucial to take a step back to look at how far we've come and how far we still have to go. The unwavering drive to elect more Democratic women -- women like Stacey Abrams -- is really what makes a difference at the margins.
And if we're going to elect more pro-choice Democratic women, we need to make sure they have the resources they need to win.
Donate to EMILY's List right now so that we can elect more women like Kirsten, Debbie, and Stacey.
Thanks for standing with me, and thanks for standing with the EMILY's List family.
Gabrielle Giffords
