FOX NEWS: Democrat-leaning pollster has GOP leading generic congressional ballot
“The survey, which was conducted between Oct. 1 and Oct. 4, represents the first time Republicans have led in the poll since Quinnipiac began asking the question in May.
Quinnipiac's first generic congressional ballot poll of the 2022 cycle, which was conducted between May 18 and May 24, showed Democrats with a nine point lead over Republicans.
The last time the pollster released a generic congressional ballot poll, a survey conducted between Sept. 10 and Sept. 13, Democrats had a four point lead over Republicans.
The numbers come as President Biden has recently grappled with multiple crises, including worrisome COVID-19 numbers, concerning jobs numbers and the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan.”

2022 Recruitment Update
Over 180 Republican women have now filed to run for Congress!
At this point in the historic 2020 cycle, 119 GOP women had filed. That means Republican women are on track to SHATTER records and lead the charge to FIRE Lame Duck Speaker Nancy Pelosi once and for all!
Thanks to E-PAC supporters like you, 2020 was “The Year of the Republican Woman.” E-PAC donated nearly 2 million dollars to GOP women candidates in less than two years and helped more than DOUBLE the number of Republican women in Congress.
In fact, 11 out of the 15 seats that flipped red in 2020 were won by Republican women ENDORSED by Chairwoman Elise Stefanik and E-PAC!
We need your help to send another record class of Republican women to Congress in 2022.

TOWNHALL: Nancy Mace on Republican Women in Office: We Have Been Breaking Glass Ceilings Our Entire Lives
““Republican women have been breaking glass ceilings their entire life,” Mace explained. “This is not a monopoly owned by Democrat women. We don’t get a lot of recognition for the barriers that we’ve broken, but we’ve been doing it our entire lives.”
RNC Chairwoman and “Real America” host Ronna McDaniel agreed. “Women in our party are not celebrated by the mainstream media,” she added. “If we’re breaking glass ceilings or doing things that are outside the norm, it’s muted because we’re Republican, which is shameful.””

Stefanik Honored with Leadership Award
On Wednesday, Congresswoman Elise Stefanik was awarded the Women’s National Republican Club’s Outstanding Leadership Award! The Women's National Republican Club was founded by Henrietta Wells Livermore in 1921, making it the oldest private club for Republican women in America. The club was founded during the earlier women's suffrage movement in New York which helped lead to the Nineteenth Amendment.
Here’s part of what Elise had to say:
“We have a historic opportunity this year to take back the House, fire Nancy Pelosi once and for all, FLIP New York RED, and Save America! And Republican women like you will lead the way! Thank you!”
