Emily Teixeira

Emily is passionate about making civic life more accessible for everyone. She’s worked everywhere from the statehouse to campaign war rooms, and even served as a U.S. intelligence analyst—giving her a front-row seat to how much our democracy needs voices like yours (and hers). Emily is a fan of escapist fiction, an enthusiast of both office supplies and geopolitical maps, and a firm believer that good food and strong democracies make life worth living. She’s based in North Carolina with her partner and two kids, who remind her daily why civic voice matters.
