Emerge Texas will be offering Boot Camp training in 2026 for Democratic self-identified women in Texas who are on the ballot in 2026. All 2026 and beyond candidates are encouraged to look into our 2025 Signature Program. Boot Camp I will take place virtually in February 2026 and Boot Camp II will take place virtually in July 2026.
Emerge America Boot Camps have been developed to give Democratic women the skills they need to turbocharge their campaigns. Top political strategists and trainers will teach attendees critical elements of campaigning, including:
Campaign overview & structure
Developing campaign plan & strategy
Messaging and Media Relations
Social Media
Endorsements & Power Brokers
Fundraising
Field Campaigns
Public Speaking
And much more!
Attendees who complete a Boot Camp will be considered Emerge alumnae and have access to alumnae resources, as well as continuing education opportunities for alumnae. Tuition may be paid by personal or campaign committee accounts. Due to campaign finance regulations, Emerge and its affiliates cannot provide scholarships to boot camp participants.
Applications for 2026 Boot Camps will open in fall of 2025. Tuition for these boot camps is $350.
