</html><description>By Karen Middleton, Emerge America President &nbsp; Coming off the heels of a recent election is difficult. Waking up early, having no other campaign to work on leaves a person questioning what is next. Emerge California was the perfect decision for a person wanting to get their feet wet, with the hopes of eventually running for office. Sadly, less than 20% of politicians are women. Emerge is going to change that. &nbsp; I am constantly reminded that despite our continued success to elect more women at all levels of office (and 76 Emerge women won last Tuesday), we must continue to pay attention and be mindful of the political chatter about who should be in leadership.</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>
