Emerge Georgia will level the playing field by recruiting and training Democratic women who want to run for office, but who may feel they lack the necessary knowledge or connections to mount a successful campaign.
While women comprise more than 50% of the electorate, they still hold just 29% of elected offices in this country. Georgia has not had a female US Senator since 1922. According to the Institute for Women’s Policy Research, there are no women of color in statewide elected office in Georgia.
This is why Georgia needs Emerge Georgia now!
Emerge Georgia will:
- Recruit women to run for office at all levels of government
- Train them to run effective campaigns and win races
- Provide a powerful network to support women running for office
