FIRST ON FOX: Elise Stefanik, chair of the House GOP Conference, took a new step in Congress on Tuesday to strengthen the Republican women’s roster by supporting four candidates on the battlefield.

“From Virginia to Colorado, Illinois and New Jersey, these four women have proven to be conservative fighters in the community and are on the road to turning the main battlefield from blue to red. “Stefanik said. “Thanks to E-PAC’s historic efforts, we now have 35 Republican women in Congress, compared to 13 today. This is in the history of our country. This is the highest number ever. ”
The 28 candidates currently supported by Stephanique come from a variety of backgrounds and states.
Some civil servants, including Sue Kylie in New Jersey, Barbara Kirkmeyer in Colorado, and Yesri Vega in Virginia, are local election civil servants vying for promotion to parliament. Others, such as small business owner Regan Deering, who are running for the democratic-minded Central Illinois district, are the first candidates.
Each of the four women is currently held by the Democratic Party or is running for a seat won by President Biden in 2020. Stephanique says that the way Republicans regain control of parliament goes directly through such districts.
In 2020, 11 of the 15 seats that changed from red to blue were acquired by female candidates, many of whom were endorsed by the Stephanique group.

Stephanique’s support includes a $ 10,000 donation from E-PAC to each candidate. Contributions are made possible by Stefanik’s strong funding capabilities.
Since the establishment of PAC, Stefanik has donated more than $ 4 million to female Republican candidates. In this cycle alone, Stephanique has donated more than $ 1 million to strengthen the status of Republican women in parliament.
