The endorsement is part of EMILYs List’s effort to flip control of the U.S. House
Hermantown, MN (August 27, 2026)— Trina Swanson’s campaign for Congress today announced an endorsement from EMILYs List, the nation’s largest resource for electing Democratic pro-choice women to office. This endorsement follows a string of high-profile endorsements following Swanson’s decisive primary win.
“I’m overjoyed to earn the endorsement of EMILYs List. At a time when reproductive freedom and women’s rights are under attack, I’m proud to stand with an organization that has spent decades helping elect leaders to regain control of Congress and put people ahead of corporate interests. I’m ready to fight for Minnesota, defend our freedoms, and deliver results for working families.” said Trina Swanson.
The endorsement is part of “Mission Majority,” EMILYs List’s aggressive effort to flip control of the U.S. House in 2026 by putting Democratic women at the center of the fight. Through the program, EMILYs List recruits, trains, and works alongside Democratic women running in competitive districts critical to winning the House majority.
“Trina Swanson is a native Minnesotan who understands what hard work and looking out for your neighbors really means. As families across northern and central Minnesota struggle with rising costs and economic uncertainty, Trina is running to make sure their voices are heard in Congress,” said Jessica Mackler, President of EMILYs List. “She knows these communities, understands what families are up against, and will fight for an economy that works for working people — not powerful interests behind Pete Stauber. EMILYs List is proud to support Trina as we expand the battlefield and work to take back the House in 2026.”
For four decades, EMILYs List has built an early-money and grassroots infrastructure designed to help Democratic pro-choice women launch viable campaigns and win competitive elections. This endorsement represents growing support for Trina Swanson – in August, she earned 77% of the vote, and drew the highest Minnesota primary turnout in more than 36 years.
The endorsement of EMILYS List joins a growing coalition of broad support for Trina Swanson’s campaign, including the DFL, the DFL Senior, Rural, and Veteran’s Caucuses, AFL-CIO, the Minnesota Association of Professional Employees, Save the Boundary Waters Action Fund, Women Winning, We Are Rising and Resisting Indivisible group, Feminist Majority, Rep. Betty McCollum, Sen. Tina Smith, and several notable community and union leaders.
The campaign continues to build momentum from individuals across Minnesota focused on economic security, environmental protection, labor, healthcare, and strong public service, and those who believe Minnesota deserves experienced, community-focused representation in Washington.
