A budding political action group is charging into the 2012 election with the goal of being the conservative answer to Emily's List, which for years has provided support to left-leaning female candidates running for office.  

The Maggie's List group, founded in 2010, provides financial might and other means of support to women candidates whose policy views promote fiscal conservatism, limited government and strong national security. 

The political action committee was founded by former Florida Secretary of State Sandra B. Mortham and named after Margaret Chase Smith, a Republican from Maine who was the first woman elected to both houses of Congress.

"I have watched over the years what Emily's List has accomplished and I felt that certainly on the fiscally conservative side of the equation, we haven't done the same thing for our women," Mortham told FoxNews.com. 

"I wanted to see if we could pull that together," she said. "And we've had wonderful successes. We should have a pretty good impact this election cycle."
