Hi John, it's Ben.
I'm the interim vice president of Federal & Gubernatorial Campaigns here at EMILYs List. My #1 goal is to provide our endorsed women the support they need to hold seats, flip seats, beat Republicans, and WIN. And if you've been a part of our pro-choice community for some time, you know that in make-or-break election years like this, victory is decided by races that come down to the wire. That's why we're running a flash fund this week dedicated specifically to flipping the House this November.
That's where EMILYs List-endorsed champions Marlene Galán-Woods (AZ-01), Kirsten Engel (AZ-06), Laura Gillen (NY-04), and Janelle Bynum (OR-05) come in.
More on the state of these races in a moment, but first: Can we count on your support? Donate toward our $75,000 Flip the House Flash Fund to make a big impact in close-margin races like these >>

Cook Political Report has rated all four of these races as toss ups. I'm keeping a close eye on these races, John, and here's why you should too:
- Arizona became a swing state after Democrats won in 2020's presidential election by less than three points. That means that Marlene Galán-Woods (AZ-01) and Kirsten Engel's (AZ-06) races against their Republican incumbent opponents will be hard-fought.
- New York's 4th Congressional District and Oregon's 5th Congressional District were flipped by Republicans in the 2022 midterms, and this year, they're anyone's game. Laura Gillen (NY-04) and Janelle Bynum (OR-05) can help Democrats regain both seats this November, but they'll need our help to get the job done.
Take it from me: Marlene, Kirsten, Laura, and Janelle will need the full support of this pro-choice community to hold a strong offensive line in these races and win.
So don't wait, John! Donate toward our $75,000 Flash Fund goal and support the Democratic pro-choice challengers who can FLIP the House this cycle:
