2009: Welcome new Congresswomen committed to change!

The WAND/WiLL reception on February 3, 2009 was an electric moment to welcome, educate, empower -- and celebrate! More info here.

WAND PAC welcomed TEN new women to the 111th Congress! Senator Jeanne Shaheen (NH) | Rep. Donna Edwards (MD-4)
Rep. Marcia Fudge (OH-11) | Rep. Debbie Halvorson (IL-11)
Rep. Mary Jo Kilroy (OH-15) | Rep. Betsy Markey (CO-4)
Rep. Chellie Pingree (ME-1) | Rep. Laura Richardson (CA-37)
Rep. Jackie Speier (CA-12) | Rep. Niki Tsongas (MA-5)


l to r: Congresswoman Gwen Moore (WI), WAND executive director Susan Shaer, Congresswoman Mary Jo Kilroy (OH)
That's newly elected Congresswoman Debbie Halvorson (IL-11) (c) with WAND staff Christina Cernansky (l) and Marie Rietmann (r). We're especially excited to welcome Debbie to Congress: she made the decision to run while attending the 2007 WAND/WiLL national conference in DC!

l: Congresswoman Niki Tsongas (MA); r: WiLL president Sen. Nan Grogan Orrock (GA) with Congresswoman Diane Watson (CA)
