Fourth Annual Congressional Women's Softball Game

The prestigious Congressional Women’s Softball Game began in 2009 with captains Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL), Rep. Jo Ann Emerson (R-MO), Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) and Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME). They brought together a team of women Members of Congress to play the female campaign staff from both parties. They raised more than $50,000 that year and the Congressional Women’s Softball Game has become a staple of Capitol Hill summer activities ever since.
