COUNTDOWN TO NOVEMBER 8, 2016!:
43 DAYS

Maggie’s List continues highlighting pivotal races across the nation. In each edition of the Weekly Brief between now and November, we’ll continue to showcase Maggie’s List endorsed candidates, as the clock counts down to Election Tuesday!

In Florida’s District-27 race, Maggie’s List endorsed candidate and Congressional Partner Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen faces a challenge by a Democratic candidate with a criminal past! On South Florida television stations, her campaign is running a series of ads criticizing her opponent as untrustworthy and highlighting his background which involves allegations of a horrible driving record and death on our roadways.  

As we shared with you in previous editions of the Weekly Brief, Ileana served as Chairwoman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee and remains a very strong voice on foreign affairs issues and U.S. national security. She was the first Hispanic woman ever elected to Congress and remains a staunch advocate for Hispanics—especially Cuban Americans-- in the U.S.

In an ever-changing world with shifting, uncertain political dynamics such as those playing out today, Ileana’s voice is needed in Congress now, more than ever. District-27 was recently redrawn and now leans Democratic. She needs all of our support to return to Congress. You can help by showing up to the polls to vote for Ileana. 

Maggie’s List wishes to thank Congresswoman Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming for her continued support of Maggie’s List. We are pleased to announce that Congresswoman Lummis is renewing as a Maggie’s List Congressional Partner—AND she just made a generous contribution through her leadership PAC entitled Dagny Political Action Committee. This is the final contribution from Dagny PAC before the Congresswoman’s retirement at the end of this session. 

Rep. Lummis’ contribution will go a long way toward helping elect fiscally conservative women—like Congresswoman Lummis herself—who support more personal responsibility and stronger U.S. national security—like Liz Cheney. As you might remember from previous editions of the Maggie’s List Weekly Brief, Maggie’s List has endorsed Liz Cheney for Congress for Wyoming’s At-Large seat. The funds from Dagny PAC will play a key role in our ability to support Liz and the many other very smart and talented Maggie’s List endorsed candidates.

Congresswoman Lummis was first elected to serve Wyoming At Large in 2009. Congresswoman Lummis, thank you for your support of Maggie’s List, for supporting our shared values of fiscal conservatism, strong national security and more personal responsibility, and—especially-- for being our dear friend!
