Janelle Bynum (OR-05) is not only leading 32 other Democratic House freshmen in demanding that legislation be brought to the floor to lower costs, create jobs, and improve our quality of life — but she went straight to the speaker with her plan. Donate today to support Democratic pro-choice House incumbents who can DEFEAT Republicans in 2026: DONATE This is exactly why electing Democratic pro-choice women is so important. Women know how to step up for the American people.  "I'm consistently hearing from my constituents that their paycheck doesn't go as far as it used to — something that as a mother of four, I understand all too well. I came to Congress specifically to address rising costs and to deliver results on what is my and many of my constituents' top priority." — U.S. Rep. Janelle Bynum  She's not alone. Other EMILYs List champions are standing with her, including: Rep. Yassamin Ansari (AZ-03), Rep. Lateefah Simon (CA-12), Rep. Luz Rivas (CA-29), Rep. Laura Friedman (CA-30), Rep. Sarah McBride (DE-AL), Rep. Sarah Elfreth (MD-03), Rep. April McClain Delaney (MD-06), Rep. Kristen McDonald Rivet (MI-08), Rep. Kelly Morrison (MN-03), Rep. Maggie Goodlander (NH-02), Rep. Nellie Pou (NJ-09), Rep. Maxine Dexter (OR-03), Rep. Julie Johnson (TX-32), and Rep. Emily Randall (WA-06). Meanwhile, the Republican-controlled House is doing… almost nothing. Instead of lowering costs or fighting Trump-era tariffs, they're wasting time renaming a body of water and fighting over bathrooms. We only need to flip THREE House seats to take back the chamber in 2026, and EMILYs List women will be key to securing a pro-choice majority.
