Women are woefully underrepresented in politics in the United States. (https://www.statista.com/topics/10417/women-in-politics-in-the-us/#topicOverview) But there's one organization dedicated to changing that - EMILYs List, the nation's largest resource for women in politics.

EMILYs List works to elect Democratic pro-choice women up and down the ballot and across the country with a goal of fighting for our rights and communities by recruiting and training candidates, building strong campaigns, researching the issues that impact women and families, and run one of the largest independent expenditure operations for Democrats.

In this week's episode, Raquel and Jennifer speak with Christina Reynolds, Senior Vice President of Communications and Content, of EMILYs List. Christina joined EMILYs List after nearly two decades of experience as a communications and research strategist. A lifelong fighter for progressive causes, she has managed large-scale press operations from the campaign trail to the White House.

Christina spent most of her career in campaigns and politics, serving as Deputy Communications Director at Hillary for America, White House Director of Media Affairs and Special Assistant to President Obama, Director of Rapid Response at Obama for America, Research & Policy Director at the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) during the 2006 midterms, senior roles in several presidential and Senate campaigns, and Deputy Research Director at the Democratic National Committee (DNC). She also worked in strategic communications and public affairs at the Global Strategy Group and the Glover Park Group.

A proud Tar Heel and Marine brat, Christina studied journalism and political science at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She is also the co-author, with EMILYs List former President Stephanie Schriock, of Run to Win: Lessons in Leadership for Women Changing the World.
