More excellent news from the Leslie Byrne campaign:

EMILY's List, the nation's largest political action committee and financial resource for women running for elective office, today announced its endorsement of Leslie Byrne in Virginia's 11th congressional district.  

"Leslie Byrne is a strong, proven leader with more than 20 years of service to her community," said Ellen R. Malcolm, president of EMILY's List. "From her early participation with local PTAs and the League of Women Voters, to her position in the Virginia House of Delegates, to her term in the U.S. Congress, Leslie has shown uncommon integrity, leadership and dedication. EMILY's List is proud to support Leslie Byrne in her bid to represent Virginia's 11th District."

Congratulations to Leslie Byrne, the 11th CD's next Congresswoman!

Did they Interview Lori? (VAsCheGuevara - 2/5/2008 1:14:30 AM)
Did the membership of Emily's list vote or was this another one of Leslie' smoke filled room union endorsements where jimmy hoffa and co endorse based on whose more likely to recoup their losses in past campaign contributions?

RK should be a little more cynical about the motivations of all special interest groups, especially when they endorse on gender alone but yet don't take the time to interview other candidates...

Don't see this playing well in Prince William County



Lori who? (Lowell - 2/5/2008 7:09:49 AM)
You mean the Lori who now has ZERO votes out of 93 on our RK 11th CD poll?  By the way, that's 3 votes fewer than "whoever the GOP nominates."  

In all seriousness, EMILY's List endorsed Leslie Byrne for the exact reasons stated, that she is "a strong, proven leader with more than 20 years of service to her community."  A clear choice.
