A Political Donor Network for Pro Choice Democratic Women in the North Carolina General Assembly
Lillian’s List of NC is a statewide donor network dedicated to providing financial, strategic, and political support to Democratic women serving in the North Carolina General Assembly, and new candidates, who are committed to reproductive freedom and equality for women.
We are modeled after EMILY’s List and work hard to increase the number and percentage of pro-choice Democratic women in the North Carolina General Assembly. We recruit, train, support and promote these women with strong, smart, collective action. North Carolina is currently ranked # 1 in the southeast in the percentage of Democratic women serving in the North Carolina General Assembly!
Join the team. Join the dream.
Featured Candidate, 2008 General Election Candidate Spotlight: Representative Jennifer Weiss
Representative Jennifer Weiss, House District 35 (Wake), is co-chair of the powerful House Finance Committee where she fights for fairness in the way North Carolina raises revenue from citizens. Her willingness to take positions that are unpopular with special interests has earned her a spirited challenge in this election.
Jennifer has been canvassing with volunteers in Raleigh and Cary and has had a very positive response from voters. In addition to Lillian’s List, Weiss has endorsements from the Wake County NCAE, the State Employees Association, the North Carolina branch of the National Association of Social Workers, and the Sierra Club. Feedback has been good from observers of candidates' forums and from voters canvassed by volunteers in Raleigh and Cary. Enthusiastic volunteers are lining up to greet voters at the polls on Election Day, and Weiss is planning a series of mail pieces to reinforce her message to voters – a mail campaign that requires a substantial financial investment.
We need Representative Weiss’ continued leadership in the General Assembly. Please send your contribution right away.
Please make your check payable to the Jennifer Weiss Campaign Fund.
