Emerge Maine is the premier political leadership training program for Democratic women in Maine.

Our mission is to recruit, train and inspire Democratic women who are interested in public service. Emerge makes a long-term investment in these future leaders by honing their political skills: expanding their political networks, and providing them with the training needed to run and win.

A pool of highly qualified Democrat candidates is being left untapped. Too often, women do not see themselves running for office. They worry that they are not experienced enough, or they just don't know where to start.

Emerge Maine is changing that.

We are committed to increasing the number of women in office, creating a strong network of women leaders, and building a pipeline of Democratic women candidates all levels of public office.

Did you know?
Eighty-fourth in the world: that's where the United States ranks for women in elected office, behind Mexico, China and Pakistan. Even after the most recent 2008 election, women make up just 17% of the U.S. Congress.
