Called a transformational leader, Stephanie Schriock has run: a major national organization that dramatically changed the American political landscape; successful managed and advised countless high-stakes competitive political campaigns; and counseled CEOs, candidates and national, state and local office holders.

Most recently, Stephanie Schriock has joined Strategic Victory Fund as a Senior Advisor and is serving as a political strategist. Stephanie is known for serving for 11 years as President of EMILY’s List, the nation’s largest resource for women in politics. During her tenure, EMILY’s List raised more than $460 million for the organization and its candidates and spent $160 million in independent expenditures. With Stephanie at the helm, EMILY’s List endorsed more than 1,800 women, elected nearly 1,000 up and down the ballot, and trained more than 14,000.

As the EMILY’s List President, Stephanie doubled – and then doubled twice again – the organization’s digital footprint. She expanded EMILY’s List’s state and local training programs, including its online Training Center, and the creation of Run to Win, its national recruitment and training campaign. Stephanie and Christina Reynolds, EMILY’s List Vice President of Communications, recently authored the book Run to Win: Lessons in Leadership for Women Changing the World, which serves as a leadership guide for running for office or leading an organization.

The second person to hold this position, Stephanie stepped down as President earlier this year. EMILY’s List is at its strongest position yet, following two record cycles and the incredible growth of Democratic women running for office.

Affectionately called “Coach Stephanie” by her staff, Stephanie has built an impressive network of corporate CEOs, elected officials, candidates, donors and staff across the country.

Originally hailing from the mining town of Butte, Montana, Stephanie has been electing Democrats for more than 20 years. In 2004, she served as the national finance director for Howard Dean’s presidential campaign, where she was at the center of the team that created the online fundraising model that ushered in the era of digital fundraising, laying the groundwork for the future campaigns of President Barack Obama, Secretary Hillary Clinton, and President Joe Biden’s presidential campaigns.

In 2006, Stephanie returned to her home state of Montana to serve as Senator Jon Tester’s campaign manager, and after helping Democrats take back the Senate, served as his chief of staff. In 2008, she joined Al Franken’s Senate campaign as his campaign manager, leading the campaign to Election Day and then solidifying her reputation as a major force in Democratic politics by successfully managing the eight-month recount and legal fight that followed. Called “one of the absolute stars of American politics now,” Stephanie has also been named by ELLE Magazine to its “10 Most Powerful Women in Washington” list.
