Elise Stefanik seeks to tackle GOP's women 'crisis' ahead of 2020
Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) is looking to recruit and elect more Republican women to Congress through her leadership political action committee, as the GOP grapples with winning back the suburban, moderate voters who left the party in 2018.
To get there, Stefanik's group, E-PAC, is making strides to reach the high-dollar fundraising and massive network of Democratic women's groups like EMILY’s List. That is an area where Republicans have traditionally come up short, but one they are seeking to emulate this cycle.
The three-term congresswoman has attracted the support of top House Republican leaders, after the GOP lost dozens of seats last November.
The relaunch event for her PAC last week was attended by House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (Calif.), House Minority Whip Steve Scalise (La.), and House Republican Conference Chairwoman Liz Cheney (Wyo.) in what was a display of strength for her efforts.

Lotsa luck.

Even if she gets the funding, she won't get the votes.
The GOP think women should be barefoot and pregnant, and giving them blow-jobs on demand. The few token R women in Congress are just that--tokens. Any woman truly capable of stealing votes from Democrats might as well switch parties. The R's will vote for a white man over a "moderate" woman every time.
