Email from Winning For Women, Inc. Plus, a spotlight on Julia Letlow!   December 29, 2025 The Latest News   Buckhout Wants A Rematch Retired Army Col. Laurie Buckhout is making another run for Congress, officially launching her campaign in North Carolina’s redrawn 1st District. A decorated combat veteran and accomplished business leader, Buckhout spent 26 years in the Army, earning numerous awards, including the Bronze Star, before founding a strategic consulting firm in electronic warfare and cyberspace operations. In 2024, Buckhout fell short of defeating incumbent Rep. Don Davis. Since then, the district has been redrawn in a way that benefits conservatives. We are thrilled to see Buckhout step up again as she is exactly the kind of qualified, battle-tested leader we need more of in Congress. Stefanik's Big Announcement Rep. Elise Stefanik (NY-21) recently announced that she is ending her bid for New York governor and will not seek re-election to Congress, choosing instead to focus on spending more time with her family and being a mother to her young son. Elected in 2014 at age 30, Stefanik became the youngest woman ever elected to Congress and went on to make history again as the youngest woman to serve in elected House leadership when she was chosen as House Republican Conference Chair in 2021. Throughout her time in the House, Stefanik has delivered for her upstate New York district while championing policies to strengthen our national security, support small businesses, and improve rural infrastructure. She gained national prominence in part for her relentless efforts to combat antisemitism on college campuses. Stefanik also made her mark by founding E-PAC, a political action committee to support conservative women leaders that WFW has been thrilled to work alongside. WFW thanks her for her extraordinary service to her constituents and our country, and we look forward to the meaningful contributions she will continue to make in whatever path lies ahead. Hageman Steps Up WFW-backed Rep. Harriet Hageman (WY-AL) announced that she is entering the Wyoming Senate race following Sen. Cynthia Lummis' (R-WY) announcement that she will not seek re-election. First elected to Congress in 2022, Hageman has spent her tenure in the House focused on issues like regulatory reform, water rights, and advancing Wyoming's interests against federal overreach. At age 24, Lummis became the youngest woman ever elected to the Wyoming State House, setting the stage for a career spanning more than four decades of public service. Lummis is the first woman to represent Wyoming in the U.S. Senate. She has been a champion for Western water and land management issues and recently helped pass bipartisan legislation on digital assets through Congress. Spotlight On: Rep. Julia Letlow The WFW entities are committed to supporting conservative women leading in Congress. This week, we're highlighting Congresswoman Julia Letlow of Louisiana. We are also excited to congratulate her on her engagement earlier this month at the White House!   Support Winning For Women!
