"The Democratic women of the Senate have committed

ourselves to being a force for change. Yes, we talk about gender and the unique circumstances of the women. But for us, it’s not only about gender, it’s about an agenda for the United States of America. That's why we need Emerge Maryland -- to bring more women in to run for office and help them govern once they are elected." -Senator Barbara Mikulski
