The Wish List (political organization)
For other uses, see The Wish List (disambiguation).
The Wish List is a political action committee devoted to electing pro-choice Republican women to the House of Representatives and Senate. The Wish List was founded in 1992. The acronym "WISH" stands for Women In the Senate and House. It can be considered a counterpart to another organization: EMILY's List, whose goal is to elect pro-choice Democratic women. The Wish List maintains strong alliances with other moderate Republican groups, such as the Republican Majority For Choice, It's My Party Too, and Republicans For Choice.
