Emerge Maine

We are proud of our very own, Representative Flavia Debrito!!

Another week of Friday Firsts where we have the privilege of highlighting the amazing women of Emerge, and how they're paving the way to build a more representative government ✨ This week, we are highlighting Flavia Debrito, who was the First woman of color elected for Maine HD-64.

Representation matters, and we deserve a government that truly represents us. Thankfully, women like Flavia Debrito are helping us build that government 🫶🏽

We love watching you shine, Representative Debrito!

Emerge Maine supporter Kim Simmons wrote this spot on Op-Ed for the Bangor Daily News - we are thankful for her giving voice to this issue that negatively impacts women candidates and elected officials.

Opinion: Political violence drives women out of leadership and distorts democracy “Gender specific abuse degrades, demoralizes and shames women, causing fear, stress and undermining their credibility as leaders.”

Our hearts go out to the victims and families affected by the tragic mass shooting in Lewiston, a city known for its resilience and spirit. We're sending strength and solidarity to them and stand united in support of the whole community.

This is a reminder for every mom: You can run for office - and win!
