"Hi there, I'm Emily Pades and I run our state and local campaigns team here at Emily's List. And here is one thing I wish more people understood. Power is built long before the race of the moment makes a splashy headline. It is built every day in state legislatures, in city councils, in state supreme courts. Those are the places where policy really becomes real and our rights either move forward or backwards. And that's the work that I focus on here at Emily's List. We are not just trying to win one race. We are trying to build lasting, durable power, democratic, pro-choice power, in the states, in the places where it matters most. Places like Michigan, where this November we can flip the state house and restore a democratic trifecta. Places like North Carolina, where we can break the Republican supermajority and send Anita Earls back to the state supreme court. And the women running for these offices are running some of the best campaigns, some of the strongest candidates, you just haven't met them yet. If you are looking for authentic candidates, I've got them for you. We've got nurses, veterans, moms, small business owners, and they know their communities. They understand the stakes deeply on a personal level and are running for the offices that are going to decide what the future of our country looks like. So power starts long before it meets the headlines and it starts with some Emily's List women. I got them for you."
