| Jason, What happened in Virginia this year is not a fluke. It is proof that the Emerge model works. Our wins in Virginia started when we came to the state in 2013. Then, in 2017, we replaced Republicans with women of the New American Majority. In 2019, we flipped the House of Delegates and the State Senate from red to blue. This year, Emerge alum Abigail Spanberger was elected the commonwealth's first woman governor, and Emerge women flipped 8 House of Delegates seats from red to blue. Now, 25 of 100 representatives in the House of Delegates are Emerge alums. That is what a decade of investment looks like. |
| This strategy worked because we recruited the right women for the right districts at the right time. In 2025, nearly 300 Emerge alums were on the ballot in 20 states. Our first-time candidates won at 63 percent, six times the national average. Every single one of those victories started years before Election Day. With recruitment. With training. With the Emerge community behind them. The blueprint that transformed Virginia is the same strategy we are using across the country. If we want more breakthroughs like this one, we must keep building the pipeline now. Will you contribute today to help us catch up on our $50,000 goal before the December 31 deadline and train the women who will flip the next wave of seats? |
| Thank you for believing in this work, Team Emerge |
