WASHINGTON, DC – Winning For Women Action Fund (WFW AF) today announced its endorsements of Carrie Buck for Congress in Nevada’s 1st Congressional District and Jenny Costa Honeycutt for Congress in South Carolina’s 1st Congressional District.

“Carrie and Jenny are exactly the kind of serious, solutions-oriented leaders our party needs to protect and grow the House majority,” said Danielle Barrow, President of WFW AF. “Both are accomplished professionals with strong records of service in their communities, and both are running in must-win districts that will help decide who controls Congress in 2026. We are proud to stand with them and are committed to ensuring they have the resources and support necessary to win.”

“Republicans have a clear opportunity to nominate strong, battle-tested women who can win in November,”  said Meredith Allen Dellinger, Executive Director of WFW AF.“Carrie has proven she can compete and deliver in a purple state, and Jenny stands out as the strongest candidate in a competitive primary to hold a key Republican seat. We’re proud to support both campaigns and help ensure they cross the finish line.”

These endorsements come after WFW AF helped three candidates come out on top in their primaries on March 3: Laurie Buckhout in NC-01, Jessica Steinmann in TX-08, and Alex Mealer in TX-09. WFW AF and its aligned entities are collectively backing nearly three dozen candidates, battleground incumbents, and conservative champions this cycle.

Carrie Buck – NV-01

Carrie Buck is a state senator, educator, and nonprofit leader who has dedicated her career to expanding educational opportunity and improving outcomes for Nevada families. She has decades of experience in the classroom and in school leadership, working to strengthen academic performance and support at-risk students. Buck has also led nonprofit efforts focused on serving children and families, bringing together community partners to address local needs and improve quality of life in the Las Vegas area.

“I’m honored to have the support of Winning For Women Action Fund as I fight to bring real conservative leadership to Nevada’s 1st District,” said Buck. “Nevada families built this state on hard work and the promise of the American Dream, a dream that is earned and not given. I am running to make sure Washington never forgets that, and to deliver real results that keep those opportunities alive for future generations.”

Jenny Costa Honeycutt – SC-01

Jenny Costa Honeycutt is a Lowcountry native, wife, mother, attorney, and small business owner running for Congress to serve the community where she was born and raised. She built her legal career helping job creators and families navigate complex regulatory and legal challenges, eventually founding her own law practice on James Island. Honeycutt is deeply involved in local civic and charitable organizations and is known for her serious, steady approach to problem-solving and her commitment to South Carolina’s coastal communities

“I am incredibly honored to have the support of Winning For Women Action Fund, an organization with a proven record of electing conservative leaders who are focused on results — not clickbait politics,” said Honeycutt. “With their support, I will not only win this race but also, and more importantly, deliver the serious, steady conservative leadership South Carolina’s Lowcountry deserves.”
