From Elevate PAC (E-PAC) press release of March 8:

Continuing The Historic Effort To Elect GOP Women, E-PAC Announces Second Round of 2022 “Rising Star” Endorsements and “Women to Watch”

WASHINGTON, D.C.— Today, Republican House Conference Chair and E-PAC Founder Elise Stefanik announced E-PAC’s second slate of endorsed candidates in the 2022 cycle. Each of the ten women have demonstrated an ability to build a winning campaign through strong fundraising, grassroots, and digital programs. E-PAC also announced ten additional “Women to Watch” candidates. Chairwoman Stefanik’s E-PAC has now endorsed 18 women in top battleground districts for the 2022 cycle.

“I’m thrilled to add to E-PAC’s impressive slate of Republican women candidates by officially endorsing ten more Rising Star GOP women for Congress. It’s clear there is no shortage of all-star Republican women this cycle–we have a record-shattering 260+ Republican women who are already running for Congress, which surpasses our record in 2020 during the historic ‘Year of the Republican Woman‘.

“We have strong Republican women running from Florida, to Indiana, to Arizona, to Oregon in top battleground districts that will determine the House majority.

“I look forward to supporting these Rising Stars across the finish line in both their primaries and general elections. GOP women made history in 2020, and in 2022, Republican women are leading the Red Tsunami to Fire Nancy Pelosi once and for all.”

The announcement follows Chairwoman Stefanik’s historic success in the 2020 election cycle when we elected the highest number of GOP women to Congress ever in our nation’s history.

In 2019, only 13 Republican women served in the House of Representatives, making up only 2.9% of Congress. Congresswoman Elise Stefanik founded E-PAC to recruit, engage, empower, elevate, and elect more GOP women to office. 

In 2020, E-PAC helped more than double the number of GOP women in Congress in what President Trump called 2020, “The Year of the Republican Women.” 11 out of the 15 seats that flipped red were won by E-PAC endorsed Republican women.

Since its founding, E-PAC has raised and donated over $3 million for GOP women candidates, this includes cycle-to-date more than $600,000 directly to GOP women candidates including through WinRed.

Catalina Lauf
Cassandra Tanner Miller

While Stefanik’s endorsements of the 10 Republican women candidates was first announced early Tuesday morning, the “Women to Watch” list additions were not announced until the issuance of the press release from E-PAC later in the day on Tuesday.

Both Catalina Lauf (R, Woodstock) and Cassandra Tanner Miller (R, Elgin) were added to the E-PAC “Women to Watch” list, which is not an official endorsement by Stefanik and E-PAC.

Both women are running for the honor to challenge Congressman Bill Foster (D, Naperville) and will be considered for a full endorsement by E-PAC later in the year.

Most likely, Stefanik’s PAC will endorse the winner of the IL-11 Republican primary if either Lauf or CTM win, during the 3rd Quarter, after the June 28 primary. The two women are considered the leading candidates in the primary, even though neither, through Tuesday, had filed their petitions to secure a spot on the ballot with the Illinois State Board of Elections.

IL-11: Catalina Lauf and Cassandra Tanner Miller Added to Elise Stefanik’s Elevate PAC “Women to Watch” List — 8 Comments

  1. A NY RINO endorsing IL RINO’s. What’s Elise doing to push fracking and oil production in NY state. Maybe she can get Crenshaw the Soros funded idiot to get on board with her endorsements. This is getting rich.

  2. I was surprised HEEG was one of the people who submitted a petition on the first day.

    Only she and Evans did.

    There are at least 6 other candidates we’re waiting on: Lauf, Tanner Miller, Seppelfrick, Carroll, Ramos, and Greene.

    4 men and 4 women. So far 1 man and 1 woman have turned in papers.

    If the office is closed on the weekend then they have Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Monday to submit petitions.

    Then the filing period ends.

    We’ll know everybody who has filed.

    Then there will be objections and we’ll see if anybody gets objected to and whether they win or lose.

  3. Correcting, understood about both Lauf and CTM not filing on Day 1 and compete in the top-of-ballot lottery.

    Evans has done this before, and had no issues with his petitions in 2019. Heeg has not, and she’s much like Jaime Milton in IL-14, being a low/no-budget candidate who’s yet to prove to raise money.

    The one getting the “Women to Watch” designation that’s noteworthy is CTM.

    She only announced her candidacy at end of January, and has yet to file an FEC quarterly report. That’s confirmation CTM has DC help, and Stefanik followed suit and named her a “Women to Watch”.

    On the other hand, Lauf not receiving the endorsement also shows CTM has some powers helping her. Lauf’s raised over $1M in 2021, and easily qualifies for the minimum $250K raised before E-PAC endorses them.

    Putting Lauf’s burn rate aside, I think E-PAC wants to wait until after the IL-11 primary before issuing any endorsement in this race.

    It’s all moot if neither Lauf or CTM win, especially if one of the men wins.

  4. Lopez, what difference does money really make when the elections are rigged from the getgo?

    People like you bark at the moon all the time.

    Did you ever bother to see how Ives ‘lost’ to Rauner in the last GOP gubernatorial primary?

    Many surprising and extremely unlikely details

  5. Orcs, they don’t believe it’s possible even with the proof right in front of their eyes. We use ES&S in McHenry but since Trump and Ives won their respective races it can’t possibly be cheating.

    Orcs you obviously get it. GA and AZ and PA and MI and on and on and on.

    Neither of these woman will get a Trump endorsement. Piton met with him yesterday. Let’s hope an endorsement is coming soon.

    1- The news in Wisconsin about voting fraud is coming out fast. We are not surprised by any of this. And it happened in many other states. Read all about the findings that came out last week.

    Kanekoa on Substack

    Wisconsin’s Voting Machines Were Connected To The Internet During The 2020 Election

    QUOTE: Dominion and ES&S were online and a Democrat operative ran Green Bay’s election from his Hyatt Regency hotel room.

    Last August, Wisconsin Assembly Speaker Robin Vos authorized the Office of Special Counsel (OSC), headed by retired state Supreme Court Justice Michael Gableman, to investigate concerns about the 2020 election. Gableman delivered an interim report to the state assembly on November 10, 2021.

    Last Tuesday, Gableman delivered a second interim report to the Wisconsin Assembly’s elections committee. Mr. Gableman wrote, “Ultimately, WEC’s directives mandated that widespread “election fraud” be undertaken in relation to the November 2020 election.”

    Mr. Gableman vetted more than 90 nursing homes in five different counties before concluding there was “widespread election fraud at Wisconsin nursing homes in November of 2020.”

    Mr. Gableman also found that $8.8 million in Zuckerberg grant funds directed solely to five Democratic strongholds in Wisconsin violated the state’s election code’s prohibition on bribery. He wrote, “The record created by public document requests shows that CTCL, a private company headquartered in Chicago, engaged in an election bribery scheme.”

    Zuckerberg’s CTCL grant money came with strings attached that created a two-tiered election system that treated voters differently depending on whether they lived in Democrat or Republican areas. Wisconsin’s five largest cities—Milwaukee, Madison, Racine, Kenosha, and Green Bay—were invited to take CTCL’s private money on the condition that they “increased in-person voting and absentee voting for targeted areas and groups”.

    These groups met particular demographic criteria which, Gableman wrote, “matched that of the Biden-voter profile”.

  6. Somebody send that to the “My Pillow” guy. He has the funds and will get to the bottom of all the fraud.

  7. LOL StormyD. Keep accepting the turnip as your true leader. Are you related to Monkturd and Shaketurd?
