The Maggie’s List endorsement process is exciting and inspiring. Our state chairwomen identify strong conservative women in their state, and when the time is right they bring them before our board for a vote. Running for Congress can be a daunting task, and yet these candidates have counted the cost and determined that their nation is worth the sacrifice.
This week we are endorsing four incumbent congresswomen — Rep. Monica De La Cruz (TX-15), Rep. Jen Kiggans (VA-2), Rep. Beth Van Duyne (TX-24) and Rep. Lisa McClain (MI-9) — bringing our 2026 endorsements to 20 so far. Learn more about these four below, or peruse all of our endorsed candidates here.
Do you know a woman running for federal office who deserves a Maggie’s List endorsement? Let me know by emailing me at [email protected].
As always, thank you for your support!

Executive Director of Maggie’s List
MAGGIE’S LIST ENDORSEMENTS

Congresswoman Lisa McClain (MI-9)
Congresswoman McClain is Chairwoman of the House Republican Conference. As a self-made business leader, McClain knows what it’s like to sign both sides of a paycheck, and uses that experience to fight both for healthy businesses and for the working class. She serves on the House Financial Services and Education & the Workforce Committees.

Congresswoman Beth Van Duyne (TX-24)
Congresswoman Van Duyne was the first female mayor of Irving, TX and only the second female Texan Republican to be elected to the U.S. House of Representatives. Experienced and diligent in the areas of government oversight and economic expansion, Van Duyne serves on the House Ways & Means and Small Business Committees, the Republican Study Committee and the DOGE Caucus.

Congresswoman Jen Kiggans (VA-2)
Congresswoman Kiggans draws from her experience as a former Navy helicopter pilot and a former nurse practitioner to champion commonsense solutions in the U.S. Congress. In 2022, Kiggans won one of the most competitive House races in the country, flipping VA-2 and helping secure a Republican majority in Congress. She now sits on the House Armed Services, Natural Resources and Veterans’ Affairs Committees.

Congresswoman Monica De La Cruz (TX-15)
Congresswoman De La Cruz is the first Republican and the first Latina to represent her district, where she is known for her tough stances on border security and fentanyl trafficking. To address her region’s water challenges, De La Cruz has taken bold steps to hold the Mexican government accountable for its water debt. De La Cruz sits on the House Agriculture and Financial Services Committees.
THANK YOU TO OUR PARTNERS!
We are so grateful for those who support our mission to increase the number of conservative women elected to federal public office.

Senator Tom Cotton
Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) is many things: A Harvard Law grad. A decorated Army veteran. The third-ranking Senate Republican. And the cherry on top? He’s a Maggie’s List Congressional Partner. Thank you, Senator Cotton, for your continued support of conservative women!

Congresswoman Kat Cammack
Congresswoman Kat Cammack (FL-3) is a proven conservative fighter with unapologetic grit. An ardent budget hawk, she believes taxes should be low and that we must keep government spending minimal and efficient. She’s adamant about securing the southern border and will always advocate for small businesses. A U.S. Naval War College graduate, she also understands our nation’s duty to stand up for our veterans and our first responders. Maggie’s List has endorsed Rep. Cammack in the last four congressional cycles.

Congressman Aaron Bean
Rep. Aaron Bean (FL-4) is known for being a champion of hardworking taxpayers, fighting to rein in Washington’s spending addiction. He’s also known as a supporter of conservative women, once again coming on board as a Maggie’s List Congressional Partner. Thank you, Rep. Bean!
If we want to endorse strong female conservative candidates from every state, we need to have Maggie’s List state chairwomen in every state.
Currently we are seeking chairs for Rhode Island, Utah, Maine, Missouri, Idaho and Vermont. We are also looking for additional help in Texas and Wyoming.
Do you know energetic, connected women in any of these states who’d be strong advocates for Maggie’s List’s mission to see more conservative women elected to federal office? If so, please contact Jen Biddison at [email protected].
