Stephanie Schriock is the President of EMILY's List, which helps elect Democratic pro-choice women and is the largest national resource for women in politics.

On this episode, Stephanie talks to Jessica about the historic number of women running for office this year, but why she doesn't want to call this another Year of the Woman. They discuss some of the similarities they've seen between the wave of Democratic wins in the Virginia Assembly last year and the races in some of the key targeted chambers in other states across the country. They talk about why electing more women is less about a demographic change and more about a culture change. And Stephanie identifies the one thing this election year that she wishes more people knew about.
