I am a proud alumni of Emerge New Mexico, an organization that recruits and trains Democratic women and non-binary leaders from diverse backgrounds to run for public office.
Their work is critical to building a more representative government and protecting our freedoms, and I wouldn’t be in Congress today without their support early on in my career.
Over one hundred Emerge NM alums are currently serving in public office, and as we head towards critical elections in a few months it’s never been more important to support their work.
The vital mission of Emerge New Mexico isn’t just about increasing the diversity of our elected officials: it’s also about building a bench of well-trained Democrats who will run for office for years to come. This is how we build enduring political power for decades to come, with great candidates who are able to connect to voters through shared lived experiences.
