Welcome back to E-PAC’s weekly newsletter! The clock is ticking, and Election Day is just around the corner and Republican women are laser-focused on protecting and expanding our House Republican Majority this November – but we need your help!

E-PAC’s GAME PLAN: Let’s Make History Again This November

In 2018, Chairwoman Elise Stefanik launched E-PAC to Engage, Empower, Elevate and Elect Republican women to Congress – her mission was to grow the then-dwindled ranks of Republican Women in Congress. Only 13 Republican women served in the House of Representatives in 2019. Following E-PAC’s inception, a record-breaking 200 Republican women filed to run for Congress, which led to the Historic 2020 election – the year President Trump famously named “The Year of Republican Women,” when House Republicans went from having 13 to 30 women serving in the ranks!

In 2023, Republican women made history again – growing the ranks to 36 women serving, but E-PAC and Chairwoman Elise Stefanik’s mission to grow the ranks of Republican women in Congress is far from complete.

As we have said many times – this election is the most important of our lifetimes for more reasons than one.

We have an opportunity this cycle to grow our HISTORIC number of Republican women serving in office again.

BUT we are already starting at a disadvantage, with FOUR GOP women Representatives not running for re-election this cycle. Here is that breakdown –

• SAFE – Rep. Debbie Lesko (AZ-08)
• SAFE – Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (WA-05)
• SAFE – Rep. Kay Granger (TX-12)
• SAFE – Del. Gonzalez-Colon (PR-ATL)

GOOD NEWS THOUGH! At least TWO E-PAC-endorsed Republican women will be joining the ranks in the 119th Congress…

Meet Julie: Julie Fedorchak is a fourth-generation North Dakotan with deep roots in the state. The youngest of eight kids, Julie was born in Williston, grew up in Fargo, graduated from high school in Bismarck, and earned her bachelor’s degree from the University of North Dakota. She spent many summers growing up on their family farm near Belden, N.D. Julie currently serves as the North Dakota Public Service Commissioner, that she was appointed to in 2012, confirmed by voters in 2014, and was elected to 6 full terms. She also serves as the President of the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners. Julie has also worked as the State Director for Senator Hoeven since 2011 and was the Communications Director for Governor Schafer from 1995-2000. Julie and her husband Mike live in Bismark with their three children.

Meet Sheri: Lt. Col. Sheri Biggs is a lieutenant colonel in the Air National Guard, a board-certified family nurse practitioner, and board certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner. She has worked with veterans’ health regarding mental health and sees our nations suffering from mental, fiscal, and spiritual problems. Biggs was the medical director during Operation Freedom Sentinel in Afghanistan and was awarded the Aerial Achievement Medal during the combined eight missions.

WE MUST PROTECT HOUSE GOP WOMEN

That leaves the ranks of Republican women serving in the House of Representatives at 34 – and it gets worse – if we don’t protect our Incumbent Republican women, we could be in real trouble… here is a breakdown of Republican women in tough seats this cycle:

• !!! - D+3: – Rep. Michelle Steel (CA-45)
• !!! - D+2: – Rep. Lori Chavez DeRemer (OR-05)
• !! - EVEN: – Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar (FL-27)
• !! - R+1: – Rep. Monica De La Cruz (TX-15)
• !! - R+2: – Rep. Jen Kiggans (VA-02)
• !! - R+2: – Rep. Young Kim (CA-40)
• !! - R+3: – Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks (IA-01)
• ! - R+4: – Rep. Laurel Lee (FL-15)
• ! - R+6: – Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (FL-13)

FLIPPING TOP TARGET HOUSE SEATS

Even when we protect our Incumbents and add these two Republican women to our ranks, we only have 34 Republican women serving in the 119th Congress – still short of making history again in 2024.

Which is why… Chairwoman Stefanik and E-PAC endorsed an additional SEVEN Republican Women in TOP FLIP seats across the nation. With President Trump at the top of our ticket, we CAN MAKE HISTORY AGAIN, and this time with 41 GOP women serving!

KEY FLIP DISTRICTS

• Laurie Buckhout (NC-01)
  • Moved from a D+2 to an EVEN district in North Carolina’s redistricting process.
• Fmr. Rep. Yvette Herrell (NM-02)
  • This is a D+1 district that Yvette lost in 2022 by a slim margin of 1,350 votes.
• Alison Esposito (NY-18)
  • This is a D+2 district that Alison and NY Gubernatorial candidate Lee Zeldin won by 7,212 votes in 2022.
• Fmr. Rep. Mayra Flores (TX-34)
  • This is a D+9 district that Mayra won in the 2022 Special Election; later in the General election, Mayra lost by 11,432 votes – due to redistricting that moved this district from a D+5.
• Monique DeSpain (OR-04)
  • This is a D+4 district, and Democrat incumbent Val Hoyle is more vulnerable than ever due to the multiple scandals around her.

OPEN FLIP DISTRICTS

• Caroleene Dobson (OPEN – AL-02)
  • This newly drawn D+4 OPEN seat was formerly an R+17 seat.
• Lily Tang Williams (OPEN – NH-02)
  • This is a D+2 OPEN seat that Republicans can FLIP this cycle.
