Clinton's Run Charges up EMILY's List Ahead of 2016


EMILY's List is an interest group who's purpose it to elect pro-choice democratic women to office, and this presidential election it looks like they have a chance of electing the candidate they want. Hilary Clinton is the most prominent choice for the democratic presidential nomination and EMILY's List believes she can win the office. EMILY's List staff has said that this will be their most active year yet. They expect to donate the most money in the history of their independent expenditures. Since Clinton's last run many laws have changed that will allow them to be more involved. They expect that Clinton will win the democratic nomination, so they are giving her campaign a large amount of support and money.

We started learning about interest groups this week and EMILY's list is a very important interest group for Hilary Clinton's campaign. Also I did my interest group pamphlet on EMILY's List. Interest groups and PACs help raise money for candidates, parties, and campaigns. I do not know whether Hilary Clinton will win, but I think it's smart of EMILY's list to support her. EMILY's list is making a smart choice because many politicians and people who study politics think she will win the democratic nomination.
