Stephanie Schriock just stepped down as the President of EMILY’s List; but during her 11-year tenure, the organization recruited and trained thousands of pro-choice candidates. Since it's founding in 1985, EMILY's List has helped elect more than 180 women to the House and Senate, and the 117th Congress begins its first session with a record number of women in office.

Jennifer and Stephanie discuss why Republican women made more gains than Democrats in the 2020 election and whether or not Democratic women have plateaued after a historic year in 2018. Stephanie shares what she’s learned from EMILY’s List, why both representation and diversity are so important for our leaders, and why women need to overcome their fear of failure.
