EMILY�s List operates as a donor network, recommending pro-choice Democratic women candidates to its members, who contribute directly to the candidates they choose. In the 1999-2000 election cycle, EMILY�s List members contributed $9.3 million to pro-choice Democratic women candidates. In its 16-year history, EMILY�s List has helped to elect four women governors, eleven women to the United States Senate and 53 women to the U.S. House of Representatives. �Women continue to be the power players in Democratic politics,� said Ellen R. Malcolm, president of EMILY's List. �In 2002, redistricting could result in as many as 75 open seats, creating multiple opportunities to recruit and elect pro-choice Democratic women.�
