We’re proud to release Women Winning’s 2024 Election Report Card. Reproduction freedom has been on our hearts and minds – and we know it’s been on yours too.
Women Winning is still here. While we are grieving and we are angry, we’re not going anywhere. We’ve been here for over 40 years – and we’ll be here for as long as it takes, and our work has resulted in important reasons for hope.
Our 2024 Report Card is a detailed summary of our electoral results and our coalition’s hard work that made it all possible. Be moved by the work that we put in and the champions that will continue to step up and protect us at every opportunity. Our country may have failed us, but we will not fail each other.

Highlights
- 74% of Women Winning candidates won their races, including 96% of incumbents.
- We held a pro-choice majority in the Minnesota Senate with the election of Ann Johnson Stewart in SD45.
- Every one of our incumbent legislators in the Minnesota House were re-elected, and we stopped anti-choice extremists from taking a majority.
- Dr. Kelly Morrison was elected to the US House in Minnesota’s 3rd Congressional District – the first woman to hold the seat in its history. She joins pro-choice champions Sen. Amy Klobuchar, Sen. Tina Smith, Rep. Betty McCollum, Rep. Ilhan Omar, and Rep. Angie Craig, who also won a hard fought battle on Tuesday.
- While Vice President Kamala Harris was not ultimately elected to the Presidency, we held our ground and helped deliver her a victory in Minnesota.
- Huldah Hiltsley was elected to the Minnesota House, and will be the first Kenyan-American elected official in the nation.
- Kelly Miller will likely be elected to the Ramsey County Board, and will be the first Native person in history to serve on it.
- Kirsten Buscher was elected to the Ramsey City Council, and will be both the first Native person to serve on the Council, AND the first Lebanese-American elected to office in Minnesota.
These outcomes mean something for the fight ahead and access to Reproductive Freedom, and we couldn’t have achieved these wins without your support.
The work will continue, and we will be ready.
In Solidarity,
Team Women Winning
