EMILY's List adds candidates to fundraising efforts

EMILY's List will help three more highly touted House candidates raise money for their campaigns, the group will announce later this morning.

The group, which backs pro-abortion-rights Democratic women, will support former Department of Veterans Affairs Assistant Secretary Tammy Duckworth in Illinois, former Orlando police chief Val Demings and former Rep. Dina Titus in Nevada.

All three are facing possibly strong primary challenges, and the group's fundraising prowess could help its preferred candidates in a big way. Demings could face off against a liberal-bloggers favorite, former Rep. Alan Grayson (D-Fla.), depending on redistricting; Titus could face another strong Democrat in a primary depending on Nevada's redistricting; and Duckworth will likely face former Obama campaign adviser Raja Krishnamoorthi.
