Tulsi Gabbard has been promoted from “On the List” status to “full recommendation” from EMILY’s List.

Press release quote from Stephanie Schriock, president of EMILY’s List (Early Money ILike Yeast”):

Tulsi Gabbard is a young, dynamic leader who will bring a fresh perspective to Congress. As an Iraq war veteran who completed two tours in the Middle East, Tulsi is the kind of leader who will fight against partisan gridlock and stand up for women and families. EMILY’s List is excited to see what a strong campaign she’s running, and we can’t wait to see her in Washington.

In the 2009-2010 election cycle, EMILY’s List — it’s a major political action committee — aised more than $38.5 million to support women candidates.
