This public health crisis is showing just how much we need more medical professionals in elected office across the country. Whether that be in the U.S. Senate, the House of Representatives, the state house, or the city council.
That’s why our president @Schriock1 is on a press call right now with five incredible medical professionals and EMILY’s List-endorsed candidates/ elected officials:

@BarbaraBollier
@DrKimSchrier
@hiral4congress
@KayserEnneking
@YadiraCaraveo
There has NEVER been a woman doctor in the Senate.

@BarbaraBollier is ready to change that!

Join us to send a woman doctor to the U.S. Senate.

"I'm running because we need a steady voice of reason representing us — and someone who believes in SCIENCE.

As a doctor, I understand our health care system is too expensive and too complicated. Our health care system is in crisis and we must do better." —@BarbaraBollier Image
As she’s running for Senate, Barbara has been using her medical background to spread FACTS about COVID-19 to the people of Kansas.
In November we have the opportunity to elect @hiral4congress, a former emergency room physician, to Congress.

Help this doctor cross the finish line and bring necessary leadership to Arizona’s sixth congressional district.
emilyslist.org/candidates/hir…
.@hiral4congress has spent her life as a problem solver — focusing her work on facts and data.

Now more than ever, we understand how important it is to have representatives who are focused on evidence-based approaches to benefit us all. Image
In 2018, @DrKimSchrier became the only woman doctor in the U.S. House of Representatives. Since then, she’s been a leader on health care, paid family leave, and so much more.

Help us make sure that she’s reelected to the House in November.
emilyslist.org/candidates/kim…
Voices like @DrKimSchrier's are absolutely critical.

They know what it means to be forward-thinking, to prepare for pandemics, and to share their knowledge with their constituents. Image
And we don't just need more medical experts in Congress! We need them at the federal, state, and local level as well.
.@KayserEnneking is running for Florida’s 21st state House District. A former educator, a caregiver, and an anesthesiologist, Kayser knows how important it is that everyone has access to affordable health care. Image
.@KayserEnneking's work as a practicing physician and health care leader has strengthened the quality of care provided to patients in her district. And now she’s helping to provide resources to help Floridians address COVID-19.
Two decades of a Republican trifecta in Tallahassee has failed to improve the lives of Floridians — we know that it’s time for new leadership in the legislature. #FLPol

Follow and get to know Dr. @KayserEnneking.
.@YadiraCaraveo is a pediatrician serving as state representative for Colorado’s 31st state House District.

Like she says, “no one knows health care like the individuals who deliver it every day.” 👏 Image
When the Colorado state legislature went into recess in March, @YadiraCaraveo went back to work as a pediatrician.

Immediately she saw the need for PPE and saw the fear that so many families face when deciding whether or not to seek care.
And every single day, @YadiraCaraveo continues fighting for legislation that will ensure that people have access to health care during — and after — this pandemic.

We're so glad she's bringing her experience to the Colorado state House. #ElectWomen
We need more doctors, nurses, and scientists in elected offices across the country.

RT if you agree.

Today, the Texas Supreme Court issued a grotesque ruling that upholds one of the most extreme abortion bans in the nation. This decision will put millions of lives at risk + will force Texas women to flee the state for care or endure dangerous and potentially deadly pregnancies🧵
Make no mistake, Texas Republicans. We know that you’re using the courts to sidestep the will of the people. We also know that the majority of Americans are pro-choice and won’t stand for your extremist agenda.
EMILYs List is proud to stand with Texas Congressional candidates Michelle Vallejo and state Rep. Julie Johnson, and Texas state House candidates Mihaela Plesa, Averie Bishop, and Kristian Carranza. We know they can triumph over anti-choice extremism this November.

Get to know our new President, Jessica Mackler! 🧵
Jessica comes from a political family.
- Her grandfather was a union leader.
- Her parents volunteered on campaigns.
- Her grandmother was an EMILYs List member.
Fun fact: Jessica Mackler began her career at EMILYs List as an intern, and like many of the staff here, she learned that it’s through hard work and sheer grit that you make it happen — there’s a dedication to doing whatever it takes to level the playing field for women.

On the 51st anniversary of Roe v. Wade, it’s important to remember that nearly 2 years ago, an anti-choice U.S Supreme Court stole our right to reproductive freedom. Roe was more than a court case; it gave us power to make decisions about our bodies and futures #RememberingRoe🧵 Image
Since Roe was overturned, 21 states across the country have moved to ban or restrict abortion nationwide. And if that wasn't enough, extremists are going after birth control and restricting travel for abortion care. #RememberingRoe
Voters have not forgotten, and the pro-choice majority is making their voices heard nationwide. Since the Dobbs decision, we have seen voters come out in force to protect abortion rights and take a stand against extremists trying to strip us of our rights #RememberingRoe Image

One year ago, the Supreme Court succeeded in doing what Republicans have tried to do for nearly 50 years: overturning Roe v. Wade. They overturned a constitutional right for the first time in our nation’s history and jeopardized the rights and freedoms of millions of Americans.
Your rights now depend on where we live and who represents you. Over the past year, extremist Republicans across the country have further stripped away freedoms at the state level with near-total abortion bans and restrictions.
There is still hope: reelecting Democratic governors and flipping legislatures in Michigan and Minnesota have allowed those states to codify protections for abortion rights.

🧵Today we’re celebrating our endorsement of @KamalaHarris. From California AG to VP, we’ve been there every step of the way. Join us as we highlight our favorite moments on this journey with @Madam_President.
@KamalaHarris @Madam_President VP @KamalaHarris took the We Are EMILY stage with a powerful message the day after the #Dobbs draft decision leaked: ‘How dare they!’ Her unwavering voice echoed our collective determination for justice. One year later, the fight continues…

@KamalaHarris @Madam_President VP @KamalaHarris shattered the glass ceiling as the first woman, first Black, and first South Asian American vice president. She embodies what it means to be an EMILYs List groundbreaker!
