WASHINGTON, Nov. 4 /Christian Newswire/ -- Susan B. Anthony List Candidate Fund President Marjorie Dannenfelser commented on the results of the race for Illinois' 6th and 18th Congressional Districts:

"The home state of iconic pro-life hero Henry Hyde continues to send great pro-life leaders to Congress.  Congressman Peter Roskam's return is a bright spot for the people of Illinois and the nation.  We look forward to working closely with him this session, as we did with his predecessor Congressman Henry Hyde.  Aaron Schock is a rising star, and we expect great things from his leadership in Congress.  These two will be tenacious fighters for the unborn."

The Susan B. Anthony List Candidate Fund endorsed Congressman Peter Roskam, and the organization's nationwide membership contributed over $13,000 in bundled contributions to his campaign.  The Susan B. Anthony List Candidate Fund also supported Roskam in 2006.  The organization also endorsed Aaron Schock's candidacy.

Since its founding, the nonpartisan Susan B. Anthony List Candidate Fund has helped elect 75 pro-life candidates to the House, seven to the Senate, and seven to other statewide offices across the country.

The Susan B. Anthony List is a nationwide network of Americans, over 150,000 residing in all 50 states, dedicated to mobilizing, advancing, and representing pro-life women in politics.  Its connected Candidate Fund increases the percentage of pro-life women in the political process.
