Barth Picks Up Support of EMILY's List

Anne Barth has gained a fundraising ally in her challenge of 2nd District Republican Rep. Shelley Moore Capito.

The Hill reports that Barth is among six Democratic women that EMILY's List is adding to their roster of congressional candidate worthy of support this year.

EMILY's List describes itself as "dedicated to building a progressive America by electing pro-choice Democratic women to office."

Capito has long received the support from the group's Republican counterpart. The WISH List -- which calls itself "America's largest fundraising network for pro-choice Republican women candidates" -- has been among the largest single sources of campaign funds for Capito during past elections.
