Women Candidates Are Breaking Records And EMILY’s List Expects 2020 To Be Even Bigger

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.”

Gina Prince-Bythewood is such an extraordinary filmmaker, and Gugu’s performance… I have goosebumps just thinking about it. Who Gugu is as a person is so separate from who she is onscreen. She’s such a chameleon. […] This is the most talented actress of her generation. — Julia Hart
