Publisher's summary

“I have long believed that women who dream big, work hard, and get back up after they get knocked down can do anything; Stephanie Schriock is one of those women. I’m so glad her thoughtful guidance is now available for women everywhere.” (Hillary Rodham Clinton)

"Stephanie Schriock leads the leaders.” (Michelle Lujan Grisham, governor of New Mexico)

Run to Win is an antidote to anxiety and a welcome call to action. I encourage every woman (and a few good men) to dive into Run to Win and take your turn at saving the world.” (Stacey Abrams)

From the president of EMILY's List, a playbook for women changing the world in politics, business, or any arena, with a foreword from Vice President Elect Kamala Harris.

For the past 35 years, EMILY's List has helped the campaigns of thousands of pro-choice Democratic women, but the hardest part has always been convincing more women to run. Then Donald Trump was elected, and something shifted into place. American women who were furious and frustrated were looking for a way to channel their outrage into action, united in proclaiming, "If that guy can get elected, why not me?"

The day after the 2016 election, dozens of women searched out an old sign-up link buried on the EMILY's List website. By Thanksgiving, those dozens had grown to a few thousand. And that was only the beginning. By the end of 2018, there were nearly 50,000 women signed up to run for office, with scores more signing up each day.

Run to Win is for all women who are looking to lead. Organized around the steps that EMILY's List coaches its candidates through (from deciding to run through celebrating victory), this book is full of essential lessons for any woman trying to succeed in a male-dominated field. Their arena is politics but their message is universal.

And Stephanie Schriock is the most qualified person to share these lessons. Not only is she a powerful figure in politics but she's also a woman who commands respect for her astounding success as president of EMILY's List and a longtime Democratic operative. Her message is uplifting and actionable, her voice is that of your best girlfriend walking you through what you need to consider as you make your plan, and her experience coaching the biggest female candidates in recent elections (including all of the female 2020 Democratic presidential candidates) makes her the de facto authority on the strategies women can employ to run, fight, and win, whatever their field or goal.

"I have long believed that women who dream big, work hard, and get back up after they get knocked down can do anything; Stephanie Schriock is one of those women. Now, she’s using her story and the stories of many other inspiring women to help light the path forward for us all. As an EMILY’s List candidate, I have been lucky to have Stephanie in my life for many years. I’m so glad her thoughtful guidance is now available for women everywhere.” (Hillary Rodham Clinton, the first woman in US history to become the presidential nominee of a major political party and number one New York Times best-selling author of What Happened)

"Run to Win is the pep talk you didn’t know you needed from ‘Coach Stephanie.’ Whether you’re considering running for office, taking on a problem in your community, or thinking about making a change in your own life, this book is full of practical advice and inspiring stories to help you ignore the haters and get the job done. Stephanie does a masterful job of demystifying electoral politics, sharing the challenges and joys of standing up for what you believe, and celebrating brave women who are taking the world by storm." (Cecile Richards, co-founder of Supermajority and former president of Planned Parenthood Federation of America and New York Times best-selling author of Make Trouble)

"In an age when the consequences of silence have rarely seemed more dire, Run to Win is an antidote to anxiety and a welcome call to action. Stephanie Schriock blends hard-nosed political know-how and her relentless faith in our democracy to guide women through the obstacles and opportunities of elective office. Run to Win demystifies how to tackle the challenges of campaigns, using authentic voices to welcome readers with honesty, compassion and humor. As one of the women who has benefited from Stephanie's insights and tenacity, I encourage every woman (and a few good men) to dive into Run to Win and take your turn at saving the world." (Stacey Abrams, founder of Fair Fight, Fair Count and the Southern Economic Advancement Project, former minority leader in Georgia House of Representatives, New York Times best-selling author of Our Time Is Now)

It is what it is.

This is a thorough account of Schriock’s experiences and strategies in political leadership. If you are looking for transferability, you’ll have to look really hard.
