John,

This year’s elections proved exactly why investing in Emerge matters.

Across the country, our alums are shattering ceilings and reshaping what leadership looks like.

🥇 Abigail Spanberger became the first woman ever elected Governor of Virginia.

🥇 Nuchette Black-Burke was re-elected in Windsor, Connecticut, and chosen by her colleagues to serve as mayor — the only Black woman mayor in the entire state.

🥇 Erica Deuso became Pennsylvania’s first openly transgender mayor.

🥇 Michelle Wu won re-election in Boston, continuing her leadership as the first woman and first Asian-American mayor in the city’s history.

These victories didn’t happen by chance. They happened because supporters like you invested in Emerge — the organization that recruits, trains, and prepares Democratic women to win.

Now we’re working to raise $50,000 before the end of the year to fund the next class of women who will break barriers, flip seats, and take on MAGA extremism in 2026 and beyond.

Will you activate your 2025 Emerge Membership today and help us hit our $50,000 year-end goal?

The women we train today become the leaders who change everything tomorrow. We hope you’ll stand with them.

— Team Emerge
