“I am proud to announce the endorsement of the U.S. Women’s Chamber of Commerce ( http://www.uswcc.org ) for Emily Cain in the race for Maine’s 2nd U.S. Congressional District,” stated Margot Dorfman, CEO. “Emily Cain has a remarkable track record of getting things done for her community. And she understands that now is the time to leverage her experience, relationships and conviction to support the needs of Maine families in the U.S. Congress.”

“Emily Cain understands Maine needs a robust platform for the creation of quality jobs to support and grow our middle class. She is also committed to women’s economic priorities, receiving a one-hundred percent rating from the U.S. Women’s Chamber of Commerce,” continues Dorfman.” Emily Cain will continue to be an advocate for women-owned business and all small businesses that support our local and national economy.,” adds Dorfman.

“Cain knows that small businesses and entrepreneurs are the backbone of the Maine economy, and of America. She is dedicated to supporting their success, supports a positive economic environment for women workers and business owners, American job creation, fair pay, a fair minimum-wage, family-friendly workplaces, tax policies that support a vibrant middle class and access to capital and federal contracts for women-owned firms,” continues Dorfman.

“Cain also knows that small businesses strengthen our economy and create two out of every three new jobs. Following onto her experience in the Maine Legislature, Emily will continue to work to ensure that small businesses and startup entrepreneurs in Maine and across the country have the resources they need to reach their full potential. And she will focus on creating an economic environment where business can succeed, working to achieve these goals, in a way that strengthens working families, grows our middle-class and creates good-paying jobs across Maine.” Dorfman added.

“Growing the number of strong women leaders in Congress is critical to assuring that women’s economic priorities are advanced,” adds Dorfman. “American prosperity is directly linked to the economic success of women. Seventy percent of women work and seventy-two percent of mothers work. A record forty percent of all households with children under eighteen include mothers who are either the sole or primary source of income for their family. Women own more than 42,000 Maine firms employing 44,000 workers,” continues Dorfman.

“Emily Cain will get things done in Washington that will directly support strong Maine family economics. The U.S. Women's Chamber of Commerce is proud to endorse her candidacy.”
