WINNING BACK THE HOUSE STARTS WITH SUPPORTING STRONG CANDIDATES

Every sign points to successful midterm elections for Republicans, and that starts with strong, qualified candidates.

Republican women are laser-focused on the issues that matter to American families – inflation, education, and the cost of health care, among others.

Amanda and Lisa are no exception, and thanks to their experiences, are in strong positions to flip their seats red and help Republicans take back the House. 

"FIRST ON FOX: The Republican PAC Winning for Women is endorsing House candidates Amanda Adkins in Kansas and Lisa Scheller in PennsylvaniaWednesday, marking the group's third round of endorsements in the 2022 cycle...

"Adkins already has heavyweight GOP support behind her campaign. She's endorsed by Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, a Kansas native himself...

"Scheller won a close GOP primary for that seat in 2020 before losing narrowly to Wild in the general election. She is a recovering addict who's since run her family's manufacturing business and won election to the Lehigh County Board of Commissioners...

"The endorsements from WFW are significant due to the group's role in helping House Republicans significantly outperform expectations in the 2020 elections, even as former President Trump lost."

W4W PAC is eager to replicate our success in 2020 by continuing to support strong candidates in key districts, and we couldn't do that without your help.

This was the third round of endorsements by the W4W PAC. Previously, W4W PAC endorsed three candidates running for seats held by Democrats: 

Illinois-17: Esther Joy King
Texas-15: MonicaDe La Cruz
Virginia-02: Jen Kiggans
