EMILY's List backs Halvorson, Kirkpatrick, Shea-Porter, Titus

EMILY'S List announced Tuesday that it is backing Reps. Debbie Halvorson (D-Ill.), Ann Kirkpatrick (D-Ariz.), Carol Shea-Porter (D-N.H.) and Dina Titus (D-Nev.) for reelection in 2010.

“In Congress, these women have stood out as strong and effective advocates for their districts," EMILY's List President Ellen Malcolm said. "They are helping bring real change to Washington and are fighting for women and families everyday. We look forward to their continued service and hard work for years to come.”

The group has already backed Reps. Suzanne Kosmas (D-Fla.), Betsy Markey (D-Colo.) and Mary Jo Kilroy (D-Ohio), who are considered the most vulnerable women up for reelection.

The four new endorsees aren't much further down the list, though Republicans have yet to find their way in the race against Kirkpatrick, and Halvorson appears to be in good position at this point.
