The National Federation of Democratic Women (NFDW) stands firmly with New York Attorney General Letitia James following her indictment by a Virginia grand jury. NFDW President Lovie West praised James for upholding her oath to support the U.S. Constitution, declaring that “we will not allow these attacks on our democratic principles or on women in power to go unchecked.” West urged citizens across the nation to defend justice and equality, reaffirming the shared commitment to “liberty and justice for all.”

The National Federation of Democratic Women (NFDW) calls for the immediate swearing-in of U.S. Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva, who won Arizona’s special election on September 23, 2025. Due to the government shutdown, her oath ceremony has been delayed. NFDW President Lovie West emphasized that women elected to office deserve the same prompt recognition and installation as their male counterparts, urging fair and consistent policies to ensure Rep.-elect Grijalva takes her rightful place in Congress.

The National Federation of Democratic Women (NFDW) is raising concerns about efforts by Republican-led legislatures to restrict or abolish early voting in several states. With contested elections approaching in 2026, NFDW warns that limiting early voting threatens to silence women’s voices and weaken democratic participation. President Lovie West emphasizes that early voting simply gives Americans flexibility to cast their ballots around their schedules—whether that’s a mother voting while her children are in school or a student voting between classes. NFDW continues to champion early voting and supports the Democratic Party’s commitment to making voting accessible to all.
