Hey Maureen! Hey Julia!

EMERGE AMERICA: “we are not your typical politicians”

Hi Amy!

Hi Amy

Fired up! Ready to Go!

We show up - we do our job, - we are badasses - and we get stuff done!

The visibility of women as leaders in public office is really impactful - to the whole public.

When you meet the needs of "special needs" constituents, it actually meets the needs of many more.

Right!
Such a key difference between most women politicians and men — DON’T CARE ABOUT RECOGNITION, JUST RESULTS

I am just as smart and capable and powerful as any man in this room - hell ya!

Such an amazing story! You are so brave!

“I won’t negotiate with my equality”

WHO HOO

YESSS!!!!

Go Jennifer Carroll Foy - next governor of VA!

YES! NEXT GOVERNOR OF VIRGINIA!

Hi Kim! Women serve to get things done, not to be someone.

Agree, Amy!

Yes! Every registered voter get a postage paid mail ballot, with drop off locations, and polling place options. WI showed that risking one's life to vote is the ultimate poll tax.

Did you create a women’s caucus? If so, was it open to women from both parties? Open to leadership women and men?

There is a caucus that's sort of like that and it is technically bipartisan but when we're dealing with issues of social justice, Democratic women show up.

Is Ralph Northam termed out?

Yes. Virginia is the only state in the nation where the governor can serve one term without running for a consecutive term.

However, a governor can run again after sitting out a term.

We’d love to have your support! Please consider contributing to our campaign: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/jcfemerge

Maureen, VA govs can’t serve consecutive terms.

Thanks Gretchen!

Northam’s term ends in 2022.

Are legislators term limited?

Right now, armed extremists are storming the MI state capitol, protesting (violently - *armed*) extension of the public health orders. Jennifer, you said you all have received death threats. What kind of response have you had over any Cov-19 restrictions?

Londyn, thank you for that donation link!

Amy, the death threats came during the assault weapons ban vote. I have not received much opposition to the shelter at home order.

JCF, that's awful. How do you personally deal with that? And these crazies in MI are in the state capitol *armed.* Do you have any body armor? What an awful question to even think of asking :-(

Yay, Andrea! Great shout out!

Yay Andrea!!!

Yay Andrea - what a legacy…

Love you too, Julie!!

Thank you for your vision Andrea!

<! Love ya, Shannon!!

I love the Emerge Sisterhood/Persisterhood. So grateful to Andrea Dew Steele for founding Emerge. Delegates Jennifer Carroll Foy and Danica Roem are such a dynamic duo.

I prefer Coven. :D

THANK YOU Andrea Dew Steele for founding Emerge. Delegates Jennifer Carroll Foy and Danica Roem — so inspiring!

No body armor. I had to walk through thousands of armed 2nd Amendment Sanctuary city advocates to get to session. I couldn’t show that them carrying AR-15s and AK-47s bothered me because if I did, they win

JCF, your courage is amazing and inspiring. Thank you for all your service.

Love you, Julie. Love you so much, Andrea

Thank you, Delegates! So grateful to hear from you.

Thank you Danica for your leadership!

Amazing leaders! Thank you so much, Emerge!

Just amazing leadership!

<3 you all thank you!
