Dear Lucas,
We did it again!
Today we are celebrating another huge win by a pro-choice Democratic woman, and we couldn't have done it without you. Janice Hahn's victory in California makes us two-for-two in 2011 Congressional special elections. And with your support, we are on our way to taking back the House in 2012.
Congresswoman-elect Hahn recorded a special thank you message for EMILY's List supporters, who did so much to make her victory possible. Click here to watch.
This win was especially sweet -- Janice Hahn faced a self-funding millionaire and far right conservative groups who waged one of the most sexist campaigns we've ever seen. EMILY's List members were there with Janice every step of the way, providing her with support to make her win possible.
This is how we're going to stop the Republican War on Women: by sending more Democratic women to Congress. The more Democratic women we elect, the better policies we'll see for every family in this country. And this is the cycle we pull out all the stops.
You and I both know that when it comes to making real change, there are no off years. That's why we put so much into helping Janice Hahn win last night and Kathy Hochul pull off her incredible come-from-behind victory in New York in May. It's why we're turning our eyes now to the Democratic women running to change the Wisconsin state senate from red to blue, and looking ahead to a potential September special election opportunity in Nevada. These critical victories will lay the groundwork for next year.
Make no mistake: you did this. You got us one step closer to winning back the House in 2012. And it is up to you and me and the rest of the EMILY's List community to put all of our passion and talent toward winning.
I am in awe of your support. Thank you so much for all you've done.
Take care,
Stephanie Schriock
President
