EMILY’s List, the organization run by Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s Senate appointee, has spent millions of dollars on Democrats, according to its website.
Newsom announced on Sunday he would appoint Laphonza Butler, president of EMILY’s List, to replace Sen. Dianne Feinstein. EMILY’s List gave $4,871,002 to pro-choice female Democrats and other PACs during the 2022 election cycle, according to Open Secrets, and claims to have raised a total of $850 million to elect pro-abortion women, according to the organization’s website.
EMILY’s List’s runs “one of the largest independent expenditure operations for Democrats,” according to its website. It has worked to elect 20 women governors and 201 members of Congress.
