EMILY is actually an acronym – it stands for “Early Money Is Like Yeast,” because it makes the dough rise. When Ellen Malcolm founded EMILY’s List in 1985, she knew that early money was one of the key ingredients to a successful campaign, but that it was missing for most women who wanted to run for office. So she brought together supporters who wanted to get more women into office and make history.  Lisa has Ellen on the show today to tell us more.
