From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Not to be confused with Angie's List.

Annie's List is a Texas-based political action committee dedicated to recruiting, training, and supporting progressive women running for state and county office.[1] Since its founding in 2003, Annie's List has helped more than 130 progressive Texas women win races and raised more than $15 million to support endorsed candidates’ campaigns.[2] Annie's List endorses candidates for State Legislature, County positions, and State Board of Education.[3]

In the 2018 midterm elections, Annie's List had an 84% win rate and 31 of the 37 candidates Annie's List endorsed in 2018 won their election.[4] Of the more than 80 Democratic women who ran for the legislature in the 2018 Texas primaries, the organization trained or supported more than 60% of them.[5]

Royce Brooks has served as Executive Director since June 2018.
