Stephanie Schriock

EMILY's List President Stephanie Schriock is a recognized leader, bringing more than 12 years of fundraising, management and strategic planning experience to EMILY's List. Highlighted in 2010 by TIME Magazine as one of America's 40 "New Civic Leaders" under 40, Stephanie is certainly one to watch. She’s been described as "inspirational," a "star in American politics," and "a spectacular campaign manager." All of this, and she can make Senator Al Franken laugh while she's doing it.

Stephanie has been at the forefront of some of the most challenging and innovative political campaigns of the past decade. She served as the national finance director for Howard Dean's 2004 presidential campaign, leading the team that revolutionized political fundraising, exceeding previous records by raising more than $52 million in a Democratic primary. Stephanie then helped now-U.S. Senator Jon Tester unseat an 18-year Republican incumbent U.S. senator in a state with an eight-point Republican advantage.

When Democratic leaders were looking for the right person to manage Al Franken's Senate campaign in Minnesota, they turned to Stephanie. Franken's $18 million campaign was one of the most- watched races of 2008. After an extremely close vote on Election Day failed to produce a clear victor, Stephanie managed a $12 million recount operation that involved four law firms, 180 staff, and nearly 2000 volunteers.

A graduate of Mankato State University in Minnesota, Stephanie has never forgotten the values she learned growing up in the strong labor town of Butte, Montana. Montana has a proud history of electing women: the first woman to win a seat in Congress, Jeannette Rankin, was elected from Montana in 1916.

On the road again

My work at EMILY’s List means I get to travel. A lot. I have become a world class packer. I can remove my cowboy boots at the security line in under 5 seconds. That sign in the airport with the picture of the “expert traveler”? That’s me.

Straight Talk: Keep Family Planning Accessible to All Women, Not Just Some.

Where I come from, in Butte, Montana, we don’t mince words. So I’m going to be straight up here: there is nothing more common sense than making sure all women have access to the full range of health care, including birth control, and nothing more contrary to our American spirit than putting a thumb on the scale and tipping it in favor of some folks, at the expense of others.
