Washington, D.C. – Today, National Republican Senatorial Committee Press Secretary Katharine Cooksey released the following statement regarding Abby Finkenauer’s endorsement from EMILY’s List, a pro-abortion special interest group:

“With little support from Iowa families and job creators, Abby Finkenauer has to turn to D.C.’s leading abortion lobby to boost her failing campaign. The 100 percent pro-abortion policies pushed by the radicals at EMILY’s List are abhorrent and widely rejected by Iowans – making them the perfect ally for out-of-touch Abby Finkenauer. Like the failed candidates before her, Abby Finkenauer’s endorsement from the pro-abortion radicals at EMILY’s List will do nothing to help her.”

Background:

  • In 2010, EMILY’s List endorsed Iowa U.S. Senate candidate Roxanne Conlin in her race against Chuck Grassley. (O. Kay Henderson, “EMILY’s List Endorses Roxanne Conlin,” Radio Iowa, 6/25/10)
    • Chuck Grassley defeated Roxanne Conlin 64.3% to 33.3%. (Statistics Of Congressional Election, U.S. House Clerk, 11/2010)
  • In 2016, EMILY’s List endorsed Iowa U.S. Senate Candidate Patty Judge in her race against Chuck Grassley. (O. Kay Henderson, “EMILY’s List Endorses U.S. Senate Candidate Patty Judge,” Radio Iowa, 6/15/16)
    • Chuck Grassley defeated Patty Judge 60 Percent To 35.6 Percent. (2016 Senatorial Elections, US Elections)
