Friends,
Every few election cycles, the same claim pops up: women aren’t electable.
But the results tell a different story.
In the same 2024 cycle where some questioned women’s electability, more than 400 Emerge alums were elected to office—serving in city halls, state legislatures, Congress, and beyond. And the momentum continued into 2025, with hundreds more Emerge women winning elections in communities across the country.
Why? Because when voters choose leaders, they aren’t voting on a narrative. They’re voting for people they know—community leaders, problem-solvers, and neighbors who understand their lives.
Women across the country are stepping up to lead—and voters are responding.
That’s exactly why Emerge exists. We recruit and train Democratic women to run for office and give them the skills, network, and confidence they need to win.
Every alum elected proves the same point: when women run, they win.
But building that pipeline takes investment.
If you believe in electing more women who reflect and fight for their communities, please consider making a contribution today.

Women are electable.
The results prove it.

On February 1, 18 current candidates graduated from our National Boot Camp, sharpening their campaigns in races ranging from local school board to Congress.
And we’re just getting started. In March, our National Signature program and the fifth Seated Together cohort launch. Seated Together alone has already produced multiple Members of Congress—proof that early investment in women leaders works.
But none of this happens without supporters like you.
