John,

After Donald Trump’s Joint Address to Congress last night, Emerge alum Rep. Lateefah Simon (CA-12) delivered a fierce rebuttal on behalf of working people across the country.

Even as a freshman member of the House, Rep. Simon is already a superstar!

We need more leaders who are willing to step up and hold the Trump Administration accountable. Our government should be run by and serve working people, not unelected billionaires!

After Donald Trump was first elected in 2016, women across the country stepped up to run for office and fight back. Together, we help our alums flip critical seats to take back the House and fight for their community–growing our Emerge Congressional Caucus to 13 members strong.

And we won’t stop now! Our team is working to ramp up our recruitment and training efforts early so we can elect the next class of Emerge women and take back the House in 2026 to hold Trump and his billionaire allies accountable. Can we count on you to rush a contribution to help fuel our fight?

Onward,

Emerge Team
