John,
We’re sure that by now you’ve heard the amazing news that Vice President Kamala Harris is the presumptive Democratic nominee for President of the United States. But did you know that almost two decades ago, she helped inspire the founding of one of the original Emerge chapters — Emerge California — during her run for San Francisco DA?
Vice President Harris’s incredible career shows why Emerge New Mexico’s work to prepare the pipeline of women and nonbinary leaders at all levels of office is so important.
Can we count on you to support the work of Emerge New Mexico to keep building the pipeline to shatter glass ceilings across the state and beyond?
From San Francisco DA, to the Attorney General of California, where she fought for LGBTQ rights, consumer protection, and criminal justice reform, to the U.S Senate, where she championed progressive legislation on healthcare, immigration, and economic justice, and as the first woman, first Black woman, and first South Asian woman to serve as Vice President of the United States, Kamala Harris has worked tirelessly on advancing opportunity, delivering for families, and protecting fundamental freedoms across the country.
Her service reflects Emerge’s mission: that our government and our communities are better when women are sitting at all of the decision-making tables.
And now, while we are all going to do everything we can to smash that glass ceiling and elect her Madam President Harris in November - it’s also critically important that we continue building the pipeline and electing women to all levels of state and local office at the same time.
Will you join us in supporting the work of Emerge New Mexico today, so we can keep growing and supporting the next generation of women and nonbinary leaders here at home? We need to raise $12,194 before our deadline tonight at midnight, and any amount helps:
Did you know that every seat in New Mexico’s State House AND Senate are up this November? There are Emergistas running in many of those races, and Emerge is ready to support them in running the strongest campaigns that they can.
Now, with Kamala Harris as the Democratic Nominee for President, we have an unprecedented opportunity to shatter the glass ceiling and elect our first woman president. But we also need to elect her with a cohort of Democratic women and nonbinary leaders up and down the ballot.
Emerge New Mexico has been at the forefront of recruiting, training, and supporting women to run for office and providing them with the tools they need to succeed for almost 20 years. Chip in today to help us make history and continue this critical work →
Thank you,
Emerge New Mexico
