The 2016 election is shaping up to be a pivotal campaign for women — and the fundraising arena is no exception.
EMILY’s List, the influential Democratic political committee that backs pro-choice women for public office, raised $10.5 million in the first six months of 2015, according to fundraising figures shared first with CNN.
That is the most that the group has ever raised over the same period in previous off-year cycles, and indicative of the growing interest among donors in electing female candidates.
