Women Candidates Are Breaking Records And EMILY’s List Expects 2020 To Be Even Bigger

I am just going to share my opinion that EMILY’s list opens the door for more options for the best person for the job. You do not need to vote for someone BECAUSE she is a woman, but there is now an option to vote for a clever, brilliant qualified woman. There are more women on the ballot in the US for this midterm election than there ever has been in the past, and the hope is that eventually there will be parity. ….

If you are an American, you have the opportunity to VOTE tomorrow and to decide how you want your country to be run. As a Canadian watching, I am hoping against hope that the shocking turn from 2 years ago does not continue as a trend and this common sense is the winner tomorrow. I am hoping that you remember that this election effects everyone, and that we are hoping that you do the right thing. ….
