The Susan B. Anthony List Candidate Fund announced its first round of endorsed candidates for the 2006 election cycle at a campaign kick-off event March 29 on Capitol Hill.

The SBA List Candidate Fund is a connected political action committee of The Susan B. Anthony List, a nationwide network of Americans dedicated to mobilizing and advancing pro-life women in politics.

“We have every intention of using the 2006 elections to increase the number of pro-life seats in Congress and the number of pro-life women in politics,” said SBA List Candidate Fund president Marjorie Dannenfelser. “In addition to financially backing these candidates, we’ll be running independent expenditure campaigns to mobilize pro-life women voters in several states.”

The number of winning candidates endorsed by the SBA List Candidate Fund has increased in the past four election cycles. In 2004, SBA won 27 of 35 races.

The organization has more than 140,000 members residing in all 50 states. For more information on the SBA List Candidate Fund, go to: www.sba-list.org
