Lucas,
I've been keeping an extra-close eye on political news clips for weeks.
Here's why: Most House retirements happen at this time of year. At EMILY's List, it's an important time for us because open seats are a key opportunity to recruit pro-choice Democratic women and help them launch strong campaigns.
As soon as a seat opens up, my team members begin criss-crossing the country to talk with potential recruits. It's critical that they can tell these women that EMILY's List has the resources to back them up.
If you're interested in helping recruit pro-choice Democratic women to run for newly open House seats, make a $3 donation to support this work today.
The retirements for 2016 have already started — two solidly Democratic seats in Texas and California have recently opened up.
We were immediately on the ground in these states talking to potential candidates about what it would take to run a winning campaign.
Asking women to run is the most important thing my team does. Because, as EMILY's List President Stephanie Schriock likes to say, putting your name on the ballot is the bravest thing a person can do. What can tip the scales for a potential candidate is knowing EMILY's List will be there.
Let our potential candidates know that we'll have their backs from the start of their campaigns through Election Day.
