John — Last week, EMILYs List proudly endorsed Scranton's Mayor Paige Cognetti for Pennsylvania's 8th Congressional District on the day she launched her campaign to turn this swing House seat blue.
We know what it takes to win tough races, and early support will be the difference between victory and defeat. That's why your help right now matters so much. Will you chip in today to help elect candidates like Paige Cognetti and flip the U.S. House in 2026?

John, meet Paige:
- First elected mayor of Scranton in a special election in 2019, then reelected in 2021.
- Her slogan was "Paige Against the Machine" and she took on corruption, cut red tape, and made her city safer.
- Former advisor to Pennsylvania's Auditor General and Scranton School Board director.
- New polling shows her with a razor-thin 45% to 43% lead over GOP Rep. Rob Bresnahan.
Now meet her opponent, Rob:
- Voted for the 2025 GOP billionaire budget bill that threatens health care for 203,000+ people in his district.
- Supported cutting $2.54 billion in district funding.
- Backed ludicrous anti-choice legislation that criminalizes doctors.
- Is mired in scandal: used an undisclosed shell company to conceal that he owns a private helicopter, and placed more than 617 stock trades worth $7.24 million this year alone — many conveniently timed with Trump and GOP policy moves.
Even Republicans are raising red flags about Bresnahan's corruption. Voters are fed up and momentum is on our side — but he's sitting on piles of cash and ready to spend whatever it takes to hold his seat.
That's why it's so critical for grassroots Democrats to step up early. Donate now to power Paige’s campaign, and support EMILYs List women running nationwide to flip the House in 2026:
