MUST READ: Fox News Highlights Record Number of Women in Congress, Including Diverse Slate of GOP Women
Fox News published a story highlighting how a record number of women are serving in the 118th Congress thanks to the successful recruitment of strong, diverse candidates across the country.
E-PAC proudly led this charge, as seven new E-PAC endorsed Republican women now serve in the House: Congresswomen Anna Paulina Luna (FL-13), Laurel Lee (FL-15), Erin Houchin (IN-09), Lori Chavez-DeRemer (OR-05), Monica De La Cruz (TX-15), Jen Kiggans (VA-02), and Harriet Hageman (WY-ATL). E-PAC also endorsed Senator Katie Britt, (R-Alabama).
"A total of 149 women now serve in Congress with 124 serving in the House of Representatives, and 25 in the Senate. Republican women occupy 33 House seats and nine Senate seats, an increase of one seat in each body from the previous Congress for a total of 42 female GOP members...
The new record comes after Republicans put up the party's most diverse slate of candidates ever in the 2022 midterm elections, including 80 female House candidates and 33 Hispanic, 28 Black, 13 Asian and three Native American candidates, according to the National Republican Congressional Committee."
