By the week before the midterm elections, more than 42,000 women had reached out to EMILY’s List expressing interest in running for office, the PAC’s president Stephanie Schriock told BuzzFeed News. In the 2016 election cycle, only 920 women reached out to EMILY’s List for help running.
“Obviously not all 42,000 are running today,” Schriock said. “That’s why to us this isn’t about a year, this is about decades. Those women are planning out their runs for 2019 and 2020 and 2022 and 2024. They’re not going away.”
