Annie's List Profiled on News 8 Austin!
Annie's List Deputy Political Director Genevieve Van Cleve and endorsed lawmaker Rep. Diana Maldonado were interviewed for an in-depth piece on News 8 Austin.
 
Speaking of the work Annie's List does, Genevieve states that, "Annie's List endorsed candidates account for two-thirds of net gains in the House since 2006. Getting rid of women in the Texas Legislature is not good policy, and it's not good for Texas families." 
 
Maldonado notes that a female presence on the floor helps better protect families, education policies and the environment. "It's about the presence of authority,” Maldonado said. “To say 'Hey, it's a different perspective and we need to have a voice.'"

Congratulations to Rep. Maldonado and the 20 other ladies, who, with your support, Annie's List has help elect and relect to Texas politics since 2003. Watch the video and read the full article here.

Annie's List board member Amber Anderson Mostyn and her husband Steve Mostyn were profiled in the July 21 issues of the Austin American Statesman. The article details the their financial contributions of the couple to Democratic candidates across the state. 
 
The Mostyns note that they ask the tough questions of candidates before they get involved.

"If you see my name or Amber's name on a contribution, we've had the conversation," Steve Mostyn said. "And it's a conversation of, 'Tell me you're going to run a professional campaign, tell me what your plan is, tell me who your consultants are, tell me where you stand on some issues like education and insurance, and tell me who you think your district is.' "
