WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Elect Democratic Women (EDW), the Congressional Member-led committee dedicated to electing Democratic women to Congress, announced its endorsement of Jessica Swartz for Michigan’s 4th Congressional District.
“As a Girl Scout troop leader and volunteer Jessica knows the joys and stresses American families face every day. In Congress, Jessica will fight for the issues that she knows are important to Michiganders– putting food on the kitchen table, protecting women’s right to decide when and how to start a family, and growing our economy. Elect Democratic Women is proud to support Jessica’s campaign,” said Rep. Lois Frankel, Chair of Elect Democratic Women.
“I am honored to have the support of EDW in my campaign for Congress,” said Jessica Swartz. “Issues that impact women, their reproductive health, and their families have always been at the forefront of my work, and I look forward to advocating for Michigan families in Congress. I am no stranger to challenges and will not back down from any fight that will improve the lives of my constituents.”

Elect Democratic Women was formed in 2018 by Democratic members of Congress with the purpose of electing more pro-choice Democratic women to Congress and higher office, based on the understanding that democracy is best served by a diverse Congress that reflects the people they represent.
The Executive Board is made up of six sitting members of Congress: Chair Lois Frankel, Rep. Joyce Beatty, Rep. Julia Brownley, Rep. Chrissy Houlahan, Rep. Annie Kuster, and Rep. Norma Torres.
