EMILY’s List endorses Roberts for mayor

Endorsement follows poll showing Roberts leads opponents by nearly 2 to 1

Charlotte, NC — Today, EMILY’s List, the nation’s largest group dedicated to getting more women elected to public office, endorsed Jennifer Roberts for mayor of Charlotte.     

She truly believes that women understand politics better than men. Women are more aware of what problems need to be solved in the city so that residents can live comfortably. Therefore, it is discussed on forums and I can write my discussion post online at https://cheap-papers.com/write-my-discussion-board-post.php

“I am proud that our campaign has earned the endorsement and support of EMILY’S List,” said Roberts. “Our campaign will continue to work every day to get our message out to hard-working Charlotte families that we stand for good jobs, strong schools and economic opportunity for all people.” 

Roberts is only the second municipal candidate in the country to receive the group’s endorsement, which comes on the heels of a poll showing Roberts leading other candidates by a margin of nearly 2 to 1 in the Democratic primary for mayor.

“We are supporting Jennifer because she is the strongest candidate in the field and because we believe she will win,” said Muthoni Wambu Kraal, Senior Director for State and Local Campaigns at EMILY’S List. “We need more strong leaders like Jennifer who will stand up and do what is right for hardworking women and families.” 

In North Carolina, women account for 54% of registered voters but hold less than 25% of all appointed and elected offices.

Jennifer Roberts is the former Chairman of the Mecklenburg County Commission and is a dedicated public servant with a proven record of working on behalf of Charlotte families and small businesses. Roberts has won many community awards and serves on numerous boards and advisory groups in the region. When not working, Jennifer can often be found hiking with her husband, Manley, her daughter, Montana, and her son, Manley, Jr.

EMILY’s List is the nation’s largest resource for women in politics and has raised over $400 million to support pro-choice Democratic women candidates – making it one of the most successful political organizations ever. EMILY’s List recruits and trains candidates, supports strong campaigns, researches women’s issues, and turns out women voters.
