This week, we're celebrating THREE more Winning For Women candidates who won their primary elections! This comes on the heels of last week's primaries, where five Republican women also won their races.

DID YOU KNOW:

45 Republican women have already advanced to the general election - and only half of all primaries have taken place! To put that into perspective – the record (set in 2004) is 53. 

Republican women are on track to win more primaries than ever before!! These primary victories are a testament to the changing face of the GOP - thanks to efforts by groups like W4W and Rep. Elise Stefanik's E-PAC.

"I am proud of the good work we’ve accomplished, but there is still much to be done. We must continue to revitalize and reinvest in Southern West Virginia. It is crucial that we support our coal and gas industries, and work to create new opportunities for success throughout the region. Together we can safely get America back to work, grow our economy, and create well-paying jobs throughout West Virginia. I have total and complete faith that the American people are up to the task and will continue to fight every day to make America great again.”
