John,

Despite a tough election year, we’re recognizing the Emerge women who will be heading to state capitals to defend democracy. Emerge women are transforming every level of government – 70% of Emerge’s state legislative candidates have won their elections so far, and this was only possible with your support.

✅ In Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, 13 Emerge alums and 10 Emerge alums, were elected and re-elected to seats in the state legislatures respectively.

✅ In Nevada, Hanadi Nadeem won her race for Assembly District 34 and will be the first Muslim woman in the Nevada Legislature.

✅ In New Mexico, Cindy Nava won her bid for the State Senate in the 9th District and became one of the first former DACA recipients to win public office.

✅ In Virginia, two Emerge alums, Alyia Gaskins from Alexandria and Michelle Davis-Younger from Manassas, won their Mayoral elections. Gaskins will be the first Black woman mayor of Alexandria and all five Northern Virginia cities (Alexandria, Manassas Park, Manassas, Falls Church, and Fairfax) will be led by women for the first time.

Thanks to you and your support, there is no other organization in Democratic politics that is consistently successful in getting women into office – year after year. This is what Emerge does best – and our work is just getting started as we’re ramping up our efforts to recruit and train our new class of Democratic women.

A generous donor offered to match contributions – dollar for dollar – up to $50,000 through the end of the year! Will you contribute today to celebrate with us and help us kick off the 2025 recruitment season strong? Every dollar makes a difference in helping build a firewall against Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans.

Thank you so much,

Brianna Carmen
Political Director, Emerge
