Women at the Top
2020 is shaping up to be an even more exciting election season than 2018. The campaign season is starting earlier and NCGA candidates have declared to get a jump on fundraising. This is a smart strategy since many of the progressive candidates have outraised their opponents! We love that this election cycle is already so busy because it means that progressive, pro-choice legislators may finally take over one or both chambers in the General Assembly.
We have been on the ground recruiting since November of last year. We are looking at 24 competitive legislative seats for 2020. Learn more about our recruitment process. This could end up being our biggest slate of Featured Candidates ever! No one has been endorsed yet (announcements for our first round are coming soon) but it looks like there will be women running in many of the targeted districts. At our most recent Get Ready to Run training we had four legislative women candidates poised to announce their election. Progressive women have declared for five of the ten Council of State seats. It is so encouraging to have women at the top of the ticket!

While progress at the state level is being made every year, there were 46/100 counties in North Carolina that do not have a woman serving on their County Commission in 2018. As Lillian's List grows we have been working more at the local level. Our Win Locally training in June prepared 16 women who are running in 2019 or 2020 to run strong, modern campaigns. We look forward to watching these women win their elections and maybe even move up through the pipeline to run for a state office!
Since 2020 will be our biggest, and most important election to date, will you donate to the Lillian's List PAC today and help us send more women to the NCGA? [link removed]
Lead With Lillian (And Anita)
Here at Lillian's List, this summer is flying by as we are busy recruiting and training strong women candidates for the 2020 elections. That means that our annual Lead with Lillian Reception is just around the corner! We hope you will be able to join us in Chapel Hill on Sunday, September 15th as we celebrate the progress our sisterhood has made and gear up for an even brighter future.
We'll hear from the inspiring Justice Anita Earls, who you elected to our state's highest court in last year's historic elections and who has recently faced unprecedented attacks from a conservative, male justice. We're not surprised that Justice Earls has handled these attacks with dignity and grace, and we are proud that she is a Lillian's List training alumna.
Sponsor or get tickets to Lead with Lillian today! [link removed]
Not only will guests get to hear from Justice Earls, but you'll also be among the first to meet our initial round of 2020 Featured Candidates. We're excited to introduce you to these trailblazing women who will lead our state to victory next year.
See you in September!
