Maggie Hassan (D. NH)We've elected some pretty incredible women in the past 30 years. In 2016 we'll be working to reelect our incumbent women we know and love, like Patty Murray and Kate Brown. And we'd like to send them some good company, too. We have the opportunity to take back the Senate with fantastic women like Maggie Hassan in New Hampshire and Kamala Harris in California. Not to mention we're going to send the most qualified candidate, a seasoned fighter for women and families, to the White House — Hillary Clinton. Now they need our help. Donate before 2015's over to give our women the strong start to 2016 that they need. Hardworking, results-oriented women like Ann Kirkpatrick in Arizona and Katie McGinty in Pennsylvania are running to unseat anti-choice Republicans John McCain and Pat Toomey in the Senate. Beating an incumbent is hard work, but with our support they can do it. Congresswomen Tammy Duckworth in Illinois and Donna Edwards in Maryland can join Ann and Katie in the Senate, where their unique perspectives are sorely needed. With Nevada's Catherine Cortez Masto we can elect the first Latina to the Senate — that's never happened before. We can take back Tea Party seats in the House with progressive champions like Colorado's Morgan Carroll and Maine's Emily Cain. And we have Anna Throne-Holst in New York, Annette Taddeo in Florida, and Monica Vernon in Iowa taking on incumbent Republicans who've voted for abortion bans or to defund Planned Parenthood. Then there's Pennsylvania's Shaughnessy Naughton, California's Nanette Barragán, and Maryland's Kathleen Matthews and Joseline Peña-Melnyk who are working hard to win competitive primaries. We're also throwing our support behind Floridian and House incumbent Gwen Graham. This is the first round of women we've endorsed for the House — and we'll have even more to come in 2016. None of these races are easy. I'm hearing from campaign managers across the country that they're up against steep competition from Republicans who are fired up and desperately want to win. It's crucial that we band together now to get them the support they need. Electing these women depends on our community giving them early support now. Donate before our critical end-of-year fundraising deadline to give them the advantage in 2016: https://action.emilyslist.org/2016-Advantage Thank you, Lucinda Guinn Vice President of Campaigns, EMILY's List
