Dear Lucas,
Amazing news from Oregon: Suzanne Bonamici is headed to the House of Representatives! And it's thanks to your support that she's going to Washington as the only female member of Oregon's congressional delegation.
You've been right with Suzanne the whole way -- from her victory in a crowded primary this past November, to attacks from right-wing outsiders, all the way through her historic win over a Tea Party Republican on Election Day. There's no doubt that you made the difference in Suzanne's race and helped us make EMILY's List history this cycle, by electing a third pro-choice, Democratic woman to Congress in a special election. We are so thankful for everything you've done for these women, and today, Suzanne's win gets us that much closer to taking back the House.

We have a lot to celebrate. Suzanne's win is just one of the pieces of what's shaping up to be an historic year for women. With three special election wins this cycle and a fantastic number of EMILY's List candidates, we have the chance to make 2012 the Year of the Woman all over again.
Thank you again for everything that you do. Together, we are truly helping build a progressive America.
Sincerely,
EMILY's List
