I'm just asking, I don't actually know, but that is a main criteria for EMILY's List.

NARAL Pro-Choice endorses Randy Bryce for Ryan's House seat

NARAL Pro-Choice America this week endorsed congressional candidate Randy Bryce in his bid to take back Wisconsin’s first district.

Bryce, a Democrat campaigning for the congressional seat held by House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., received the backing of a leading pro-choice advocacy group because of his strong commitment to stand up for women and families.

But I think there is a bit more to the story. Seems to be a bit more promotion than most at this point in the game(See my not below). Not that I'm against it. Mark Putnam, who put her announcement ad together for her, is an absolute heavyweight.

McGrath is the third Democrat to announce her campaign for the seat.

Here is an article that mentions both of them.

If she isn't pro-choice, that would be a deal-breaker for me - not that I can vote for either of them because I don't live in WI.

I notice Emily's List isn't supporting McGrath and wondered why. Maybe it's because she's not pro-choice? That would be a shame.

217 sits back and is told what they can and cant do

So yes, EVERY seat where you can.
