(Trenton) – PAM’s List announced today $26,000 in campaign contributions and its endorsement of a slate of candidates running for congressional seats, county offices, and mayoral positions in the 2026 election cycle. This year’s endorsements include a lineup of 42 female candidates at every level of government–including five candidates for the House of Representatives, 24 candidates running for county-level offices, and 13 mayoral candidates.

“As reproductive rights continue to face new challenges and attacks, it's important that we actively work to elect women at all levels of government who understand the issues at hand and are dedicated to paving the way for a future where our fundamental freedoms are protected,” said Paulina O’Connor and Kay LiCausi, Co-Chairs of PAM’s List. “The 2026 endorsed candidates reflect our organization's core mission of protecting access to reproductive health care and championing policies that uphold the rights and dignity of women and families.”

Raine Cuseglio, Endorsement Chair of PAM’s List, added, “Putting our support behind pro-choice Democratic women is the first step we can take to show our commitment to these issues and give a voice to those who are on the frontlines of change. These candidates understand the importance of protecting reproductive rights and are committed to doing the work to ensure that everyone has access to reproductive health care.”

In the last several years, directed and aggressive attacks on equality, justice, and reproductive freedoms have made it so that this generation’s young women are growing up with fewer protections than their parents and grandparents. That is why it is absolutely critical to support and elect champions from the ground up: to ensure that women have a seat at the table in every room where decisions are made. PAM’s List has been a driving force in advancing women's rights, reproductive freedom, and progressive leadership at the state and local levels–building out a bench of Democratic, pro-choice, women elected officials at all levels of government.

PAM’s List is a New Jersey women's political action committee founded in 1993 and has since expanded its mission to support pro-choice Democratic women seeking congressional, legislative, county, and mayoral office. PAM’s List dedicates its efforts to advancing the voices of women in our State.
