Emerge now reaches women no matter where they live, give them cutting edge training and tools, connect them with the top women leaders, activists, and elected officials in that community. #ElectWomen This is what a truly national pipeline looks like.

24 #EmergeAlums currently hold statewide office, protecting voting rights, defending reproductive freedom, and shaping policy for millions of people. This November, all of that consequential work is on the ballot, and Emerge women are ready to win.

A few weeks ago, #EmergeAlum @drannieandrews.com woke up to a Senate race that had changed overnight. @ashantigholar.bsky.social sat down with her to talk about those first 24 hours, and how the support from women across the country has only strengthened her resolve.

These four #EmergeAlums are rewriting what is possible for women in politics! Are any of these candidates in your state? Comment to support them!

Let's go! 🎉 Last week, 13 #EmergeAlums won their primaries! Each one of them put in the work, ran their race, and is on their way to November's general election.

#EmergeAlum @replsimon.bsky.social made history as the first person born with congenital blindness elected to the United States Congress. Now that she’s in the room where systems get changed, she’s making sure that those paths stay created for those following in her footsteps. 💙 #DisabilityJustice

This year, more than 700 #EmergeAlums are running for office across the country, because they're not waiting for a better democracy — they're building it. Real representation and change happens when women lead. 💙

More than 7,000 women trained, more than 1,200 serving in elected office, and over 700 on the ballot this year alone. This is what two decades of intentional investment in women's leadership looks like, and our #EmergeAlums are just getting started. 💙

The updated list of #EmergeAlums running for office is now live on our website! From local races to statewide offices, more than 700 Emerge alums are on ballots across the country this election cycle. emergeamerica.org/2026-candidates

#EmergeAlum @mendoza4az spent 20 years serving this country in the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps, & now she's looking to flip AZ's 6th Congressional District seat. There has never been a woman Marine veteran elected to Congress, and we're so excited for JoAnna as she makes history to become the first!

Emerge has trained more than 7,000 women — from every background and with every stage of experience — to go from very first steps towards elected office, to on track to win. Ready to take the first step? Visit: https://emergeamerica.org/candidate-training/ learn more.

She's running! 🎉 Last week, #EmergeAlum @shennabellows.bsky.social officially launched her campaign for U.S. Senate in Maine, stepping up to unite Democrats and take on Senator Susan Collins. The Emerge network is right behind her. 💙

From coast to coast, #EmergeAlums are running all throughout the country! We’re over half way through primary season and emerge has more than 30 federal and 15 statewide candidates on the ballot with many headed to the November election. We're so excited to see our alums knocking it out of the park!

#EmergeAlum Dr. Annie Andrews is the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate in South Carolina — fighting for the families she has spent her career serving. Join her and Emerge President and CEO A'shanti Gholar for our Mid-Year Strategy Report: https://secure.ngpvan.com/ShouSqM1DUeELTRc7NYzUw2

Why does it take a moment like this before we start investing in women who are already ready to lead? @drannieandrews.com is a pediatrician, a mom, an #EmergeAlum, and the Democratic pro-choice candidate for U.S. Senate in SC. We are proud to partner with @emilyslist.bsky.social to lift her up.

Next Wednesday, join Emerge President and CEO @ashantigholar.bsky.social and #EmergeAlum @drannieandrews.com, Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate in South Carolina, for our Mid-Year Strategy Report: https://secure.ngpvan.com/ShouSqM1DUeELTRc7NYzUw2

@mcbath.house.gov co-led colleagues in calling on the GAO to study post-secondary transition services for students with disabilities. She’s pushing back at a time when the administration is actively making life harder for these students and their families. Now that's an #EmergeAlum!

#EmergeAlum Jena Griswold (@jenagriswold.bsky.social) won the Democratic nomination for Colorado Attorney General last week, leading a 4-way race with nearly 46% of the vote. 🌟 We will be supporting her all the way to the finish line!

For 250 years, America has been shaped by people willing to push this country closer to its ideals. For the past 21 of those, Emerge has been part of that work. As we celebrate 250 years of American democracy, we are investing in the next 250— as the next chapter depends on who steps up to lead it.

This past month of primaries has proven more than ever before that women belong on every ballot, and that voters are ready to back them. Congrats to every #EmergeAlum heading into their general elections all across the country, creating the change and representation we need to see!

What does it take for candidates to click with voters? Jill Barkley Roy, director of the Emerge Action Fund, went on NPR's (@npr.org) The Wheelhouse Podcast to break it all down. 🎙️💙 Stream here: ctpublic.org/show/the-wheelhouse/2026-06-17/making-the-candidate-how-politicians-can-stand-out-in-2026

For our Pride Month #LeadersMatter, Allie O'Brien joins Emerge Action Fund Director Jill Barkley Roy along with #EmergeAlums Texas State Sen. Molly Cook & NC House candidate Veleria Levy to discuss why it’s more important than ever for candidates to have real convictions in order to win.

The results are in! 67 Emerge Alum candidates have successfully won their primary in Maryland, and will be advancing to the general election. Our #EmergeAlums keep the wins coming! 💙
