"I have long believed that women who dream big, work hard, and get
back up after they get knocked down can do anything; Stephanie Schriock
is one of those women. I'm so glad her thoughtful guidance is now
available for women everywhere."--Hillary Rodham Clinton**
Stephanie Schriock leads the leaders."--Michelle Lujan Grisham,
governor of New Mexico
"Run to Win is an antidote to anxiety and a welcome call to action. I
encourage every woman (and a few good men) to dive into Run to Win and
take your turn at saving the world."**--Stacey Abrams****
From the president of EMILY's List, a playbook for women changing the
world in politics, business, or any arena, with a foreword from Vice
President Elect Kamala Harris.
For the past thirty-five years EMILY's List has helped the campaigns of
thousands of pro-choice Democratic women, but the hardest part has
always been convincing more women to run. Then Donald Trump was elected,
and something shifted into place. American women who were furious and
frustrated were looking for a way to channel their outrage into action,
united in proclaiming, If that guy can get elected, why not me?
The day after the 2016 election, dozens of women searched out an old
sign-up link buried on the EMILY's List website. By Thanksgiving, those
dozens had grown to a few thousand. And that was only the beginning. By
the end of 2018, there were nearly fifty thousand women signed up to run
for office, with scores more signing up each day.
Run to Win is for all women who are looking to lead. Organized around
the steps that EMILY's List coaches its candidates through (from
deciding to run through celebrating victory), this book is full of
essential lessons for any woman trying to succeed in a male-dominated
field. Their arena is politics but their message is universal.
And Stephanie Schriock is the most qualified person to share these
lessons. Not only is she a powerful figure in politics but she's also a
woman who commands respect for her astounding success as president of
EMILY's List and a longtime Democratic operative. Her message is
uplifting and actionable, her voice is that of your best girlfriend
walking you through what you need to consider as you make your plan, and
her experience coaching the biggest female candidates in recent
elections (including all of the female 2020 Democratic presidential
candidates) makes her the de facto authority on the strategies women can
employ to run, fight, and win, whatever their field or goal.
