Emily’s List Nod for Goroff

Goroff for Congress

Emily’s List, which works to elect Democratic pro-choice women, has endorsed the candidacy of Nancy Goroff in New York’s First Congressional District. 

Ms. Goroff, the Democratic Party’s 2020 candidate who lost the election to then-Representative Lee Zeldin, previously won endorsements from Elect Democratic Women, which also works to elect pro-choice Democratic women to Congress and higher office, 3.14 Action, which works to elect scientists to Congress, and J Street, the mission of which is to organize pro-Israel, propeace, pro-democracy Americans. 

She and John Avlon are likely to meet in a June 25 primary election to determine the party’s nominee. The winner will challenge Representative Nick LaLota, a Republican serving his first term in the House of Representatives. 

Mr. LaLota “is a far-right extremist, and we’re building a broad coalition to defeat him in November,” Ms. Goroff said in a statement. “From a woman’s right to choose, to affordability and immigration, LaLota has shown he’s more interested in scoring cheap political points than working for the people of Suffolk. In Congress, I will stand up to extremists attacking reproductive freedom and our democracy, build an economy that works for all, and help fix our broken immigration system.” 

Jessica Mackler, president of Emily’s List, said in the same statement that Ms. Goroff is “a champion for Long Islanders who has spent her life serving and bettering her community. In Congress, she’ll fight for our reproductive freedom and stand up to the Republican plan to ban abortion, not just for New Yorkers but for all Americans.” The group supports Ms. Goroff “because we know she’s the best candidate to take this seat back from anti-choice extremist Nick LaLota and deliver results for the First Congressional District.”
