Democratic gubernatorial candidate Deb Markowitz plans to announce Monday that she has the endorsement of Emily's List, a national organization that supports female political candidates, according to her campaign.

She'll also announce she has the endorsement of former Gov. Madeleine Kunin, though that backing is not new. Markowitz has been courting Emily's List for some time.

Kunin will make the announcement from Union Station in Burlington, site of her first campaign headquarters and the future headquarters of Deb for Vermont, the campaign said.
