John,
Stepping up to run for office requires vision and courage in the face of adversity, two qualities with enormous power to transform communities and enact lasting change.
That's why we are deeply proud of all of the Democratic women and non-binary alums of Emerge New Mexico’s 17-year program - we call them Emergistas!
With your generous support, we've provided impactful training, recruited great leaders, and introduced them to the robust network necessary to win races and make a difference for our state. And they have delivered meaningful results that have transformed New Mexico politics forever.
What does this look like, by the numbers? A community of 460+ alums, over 60% of whom are people of color.
Thanks to this work, more than 100 alums of Emerge New Mexico are currently serving in public office, from Congresswoman Melanie Stansbury and Land Commissioner Stephanie Garcia Richard, to countless state legislators, city councilors and county commissioners, and members of the Judiciary. New Mexico is constantly recognized nationally for breaking barriers in representation - and Emerge is an important part of this growing legacy.
Please pitch in on this Giving Tuesday to help support the next class of impactful Democratic women and non-binary leaders in 2024!
The fact that we had a 94% win rate in the 2022 General Election shows that our best-in-class training program gives Democratic women and non-binary leaders the skills, network, and campaign-planning tools they need to succeed.
We are so proud of all of our alums who stepped up to run in the 2023 elections as well, including those who took on tough races and came up short this time. We are so proud of each of them for stepping up for their communities, and we can't wait to see what incredible work they will do next!
So much is at stake in 2024, and making sure that the next generation of Emerge New Mexico leaders is ready to win couldn't be more critical for our future.
