Welcome
to new Congresswomen committed to change!
WAND
PAC is excited to announce that five of our
candidates were elected to Congress in November!
Rep.
Debbie Halvorson (IL-11) | Rep. Mary Jo Kilroy
(OH-15)
Rep. Betsy Markey (CO-4)
|
Rep. Chellie Pingree (ME-1)
Senator Jeanne Shaheen (NH)
They
join five other new WAND/WiLL Congresswomen
who were won special elections in the last year:
Rep.
Donna Edwards (MD-4) | Rep. Marcia Fudge (OH-11)
Rep. Laura Richardson (CA-37) | Rep. Jackie
Speier (CA-12)
Rep. Niki Tsongas (MA-5)
This
brings the number of WAND/WiLL women in the
111th Congress to 45.
We're
especially pleased that TEN women from the ranks
of WiLL ran for Congress this year. We've been
working for years to establish a pipeline of
progressive, pragmatic, skilled women who will
run for higher office during their careers.
It's a major step toward fundamental and lasting
change!
