November 22, 2008

The following is a statement from EMILY's List President and Founder, Ellen R. Malcolm, on the naming of EMILY's List Executive Director Ellen Moran as the next Communications Director for the White House.

"We are delighted that Ellen Moran has accepted the position of Communications Director at the White House. I know she will do an excellent job for President-elect Obama, just as she has done for EMILY's List and Democratic women around the country. As Executive Director for the past two election cycles, Ellen has done a phenomenal job. She deserves tremendous credit for leading EMILY's List this election cycle as we elected the second largest group of Democratic women in American history. She has been a stalwart ally and true friend for me and I will miss working with her on a daily basis."
