Our new president, Stephanie Schriock, often says it's all about the numbers. In a great profile piece in Politico today, Stephanie pointed out that, despite the progress we've made since our founding 25 years ago, women still make up only 17% of Congress. And here at EMILY's List, that's just not good enough.

The article, which focuses on plans to grow our online community and reach out to the next generation of EMILY's List supporters, also touches on our goals for November -- keeping our incumbents in their offices and electing more women to their ranks.

Here's what Stephanie had to say:

"...I think the desire of women to be in office is such a powerful one for me. There’s a pragmatism that’s brought by someone who has to watch kids, manage households and deal with work. It’s a challenge and perspective we need even more so today.”
