BIO
As the founder of EMILY’s List, Ellen Malcolm helped revolutionize politics by leveling the political playing field for women candidates. An acronym for “Early Money Is Like Yeast” (because it “makes the dough rise”) EMILY’s List has helped elect 19 pro-choice Democratic women U.S. senators, 102 U.S. representatives, and 10 state governors. One of the largest political action committee in the country, EMILY’s List has over 100,000 members and raised hundreds of millions of dollars.
