FOX NEWS: House GOP Reelection Chair Spotlights Surge In Female Republican Recruits

“There are a record number of Republican women serving in the House of Representatives, but the chair of the House GOP reelection arm says his party’s only getting started.

“Thirty-two right now, the highest number ever in our conference,” noted Rep. Tom Emmer, National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) chair.

“But I don’t think that’s necessarily something to celebrate,” the Republican lawmaker from Minnesota added. “We got started last cycle, we had some success. Now we have to build off that success.”

While the GOP lost the White House and Senate in the 2020 elections, the party unexpectedly over performed in House races, taking a bite out of the Democrats’ majority in the chamber. And 11 of the 15 House seats flipped by the GOP last November were by women candidates.”

GOP Women Fight to Protect the Unborn

Congresswoman Stefanik signed a Congressional Member Amicus Brief to the U.S. Supreme Court led by Republican Senators Roger Wicker and Cindy Hyde-Smith and co-signed by several GOP women members in the House, urging the Supreme Court to uphold the constitutionality of pre-viability restrictions on abortion in Mississippi State law, or return the case to the lower courts for full consideration. The Amicus Brief argues that the Supreme Court has failed to clarify the definition of viability after Roe v. Wade, which resulted in Federal Courts perceiving the viability line as a prohibition on any type of abortion restriction.

“The standard for viability through the eyes of the Supreme Court remains unclear. This allows lower Courts to interpret the viability standard differently, negatively impacting states’ ability to determine their own abortion regulations. The vast majority of Americans do not support abortion after the first three months of pregnancy. I am proud to join my House and Senate colleagues in sending this amicus brief to stand up for the unborn and give states the clarity they deserve.” - Congresswoman Elise Stefanik

GOP Woman of the Week: Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (NY-11)

Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis is the daughter of immigrants. Her father is from Greece and her mother is a Cuban exile of the Castro dictatorship.

Rep. Malliotakis recently joined freedom loving GOP colleagues at a rally outside of the White House to tell President Biden to free Cuba. Nicole has also been outspoken against the rise in Anti-Semitic incidents in New York and across our country. She called on New York Governor Andrew Cuomo to enforce his own policies to divest in Ben & Jerry’s after the company announced that it was going to stop selling its products in the West Bank due to Jewish settlements in the territory.

President Biden and Democrats’ silence on Cuba and Anti-Semitism puts them on the wrong side of history. The GOP is united in its support for the Cuban people and in its support against Anti-Semitism. We need outspoken leaders like Congresswoman Malliotakis to continue to call out the silence of Far-Left Democrats.
