Does Georgias WIN List support incumbents?
Although our primary focus is to elect new candidates, or women who are moving up to higher office, we recognize the importance of keeping women with experience, strong records, and seniority in the offices where they serve. It is important to continue to have these women serve while at the same time electing reinforcements. It is only when there are Women In Numbers in the legislature that more women will begin to find themselves at the table and in the closed-door meetings of the truly powerful who make the crucial decisions. On a national level, this is clearly demonstrated by the election of California Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi as Democratic Whip. She frequently acknowledges that the number of Democratic congresswomen Emilys List helped elect was key to her selection for this important leadership post. WIN List knows existing votes for choice are worth protecting.
