The Emerge Network of States

Since 2002, Emerge has trained 5,000 Democratic women to run for office, and currently, more than 1,000 Emerge alums serve in office. Our network is growing fast and we are actively expanding.


When Emerge launches a new state program, we identify the top women elected officials, activists and Democratic leaders in the state and leverage their collective experience to build the strongest organization possible. In this way, each Emerge state is truly community-based.
