Lucas,
NPR said it best:"…if women get more confident at fundraising, they'll run more often, and that means more women in seats of power…"
Can you donate $5 to EMILY's List right now so we can put more pro-choice women in seats of power?
Unfortunately, women are far less likely than men to run for Congress. That's why EMILY's List has amazing programs in place that let us train women running at every level of office -- programs that help our rising stars build the confidence -- and bank accounts -- they need to win elections.
I'll be honest -- when I learned that over the last 25 years, roughly 75% of all campaign contributions were made by men, I thought I had misunderstood. So I was extremely proud when I heard NPR call EMILY's List "the model for how women can raise money for women."
You know why? Because you make it possible for us to recruit and train women all around the country. You make it possible for our candidates to compete. You are helping to ignite real change.
Thanks for all you do,
Jess O'Connell,
Executive Director, EMILY's List
