</html><description>In her article &#x201C;Why so few women in politics? Ask Sandra Fluke,&#x201D; Robin Marty laments the fact that Sandra Fluke decided against running for Congress and is instead running for the State Senate. I, for one, applaud her decision. As the founder of Emerge America, an organization that recruits and trains Democratic women to run for office in 14 states, I want more than anything to see more women running for office &#x2013; women of color, women from different professions, and definitely younger women. So that&#x2019;s why I&#x2019;m thrilled that women&#x2019;s rights leader, Sandra Fluke, is running for an important legislative seat in California. There is a lot happening at the state level all over this country and she can make a real difference.&nbsp;</description><thumbnail_url>https://emergeamerica.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Untitled-design-49.png</thumbnail_url><thumbnail_width>1200</thumbnail_width><thumbnail_height>630</thumbnail_height></oembed>
