What it is
Women Vote is registered with the FEC as a super PAC, connected to EMILY's List. In 2026 it has reported $6.5M in independent expenditures across 10 races, 88% of it helping Democrats.
A super PAC can raise unlimited amounts from individuals, companies, unions and other groups. It cannot give money directly to candidates or coordinate its spending with them. It spends independently, mostly on ads.
