Maggie's List is a United States federal political action committee founded in Florida in 2010 to "raise awareness and funds to increase the number of conservative women elected to federal public office". ^{[2] [3]} It is named after Margaret Chase Smith, a Republican who was the first woman elected to both houses of Congress (elected to the House in 1940, and the Senate in 1948). ^[4] Maggie's List first raised money and made donations to candidates in the 2010 elections. ^[5]
