EMILYs List Condemns the Trump Administration and Jack Ciattarelli’s Illegal & Politically Motivated Leak of Mikie Sherrill’s Military Records

“The National Archives leak of Mikie Sherrill’s personal information is an illegal and disturbing act pushed by Jack Ciattarelli's team for political gain. Veterans, like Mikie Sherrill, fearlessly protected our country and should expect our country to protect their private information in return. This is just the latest example of the Trump administration weaponizing nonpartisan services of the federal government to help himself and his Republican allies, and the only way to stop their recklessness is to take back power by electing Democratic women up and down the ballot.”

EMILYs List, the nation’s largest resource for women in politics, works to elect Democratic pro-choice women up and down the ballot and across the country with a goal of fighting for our rights and our communities. Over 40 years, EMILYs List has raised nearly $950 million to help Democratic women win competitive elections by recruiting and training candidates, supporting and helping build strong campaigns, researching the issues that impact women and families, running one of the most impactful independent expenditure operations for Democrats, and turning out women voters to the polls. Since our founding in 1985, we have helped elect the country’s first woman as vice president, 192 women to the House, 29 to the Senate, 20 governors, and over 1,600 women to state and local office. More than 40% of the candidates EMILYs List has helped elect to Congress have been women of color. Visit www.emilyslist.org for more information.
