From Emerge NM:
Angela Chavez, of Socorro, has been selected to participate in the first Emerge New Mexico class - an intensive seven-month training program — co-chaired by Lt. Gov. Diane Denish and Attorney General Patricia Madrid — that teaches Democratic women how to successfully run for public office.

"Angela Chavez has demonstrated leadership throughout her career and will make a strong candidate for public office," said emerge New Mexico board member Anathea Chino in a news release.

"Emerge New Mexico is dedicated to finding women like Angela and giving them the tools they need to run a successful campaign for public office at any level."

The rigorous and comprehensive training program began July 8, and teaches participants critical campaign skills, including how to organize a campaign, create a message and raise money. The emerge program has a strong record of success in other states.

"I am excited to have the opportunity to sit down with other Democratic women and work together to learn the skills I'm going to need to serve my community," said Chavezin the news release. \
