RUN TO WIN

Stephanie Schriock Christina Reynolds

Lessons in Leadership for Women Changing the World

From the president of EMILY's List comes a playbook for women changing the world in politics, business, and many other arenas.
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. 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 and 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.

Stephanie Schriock was raised in the copper-mining town of Butte, Montana and has been working to get Democrats elected for twenty-five years. Since becoming president of EMILY's List in 2010, she has overseen a decade of phenomenal growth in the organization, raising hundreds of millions of dollars, helping elect record numbers of women to the House and the Senate, and recruiting and training hundreds more.

Christina Reynolds has worked for Democratic officials, from five presidential campaigns to Democratic campaign committees to communications for EMILY's List.

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. Now, she's using her story and the stories of many other inspiring women to help light the path forward for us all.
