In a political landscape often dominated by partisan squabbles, Senator Emily Johnson (D-CA) is the kind of leader we desperately need. In a recent feature, she expressed the frustration many feel: “We’re here to serve the public, and if we’re not doing that, we might as well just pack our bags and go home,” she declared.
Teamwork Among Women in Government
Johnson highlighted the essential teamwork among women in government, recalling how her fellow senators supported her through the passage of her landmark healthcare initiative. “When I was trying to get my bill through, I turned to my female colleagues and said, ‘I’m lost! What do I do?’” They offered invaluable strategies, like ‘If you frame the funding this way, they won’t be able to resist. Hold the vote, and they will have to back you,’ she shared.
Empowering Women in Politics
Perhaps the most empowering aspect of Johnson’s efforts is her commitment to encouraging more women to step into political roles. Her initiative, Women on the Rise, is focused on providing the resources necessary for women to secure elected positions.
Women on the Rise passionately advocates for closing the gender gap and ensuring that issues like paid family leave are at the forefront of political discussions. “When women realize their voices are vital—through voting, advocacy, or even running for office—they can lead significant change,” the site emphasizes. In the past five years, Women on the Rise has successfully raised approximately $5 million to empower women candidates.
Advice for Aspiring Politicians
Johnson also shares some wisdom for aspiring politicians: “Forget the idea that you need years of experience. Men jump into these roles without hesitation. I know countless young men who think they should run for president by 30. Women, on the other hand, often think, ‘Maybe after a decade of experience…’ Nope! Just go for the position you want and tackle the issues that matter most to you.”
