Events

Want to meet Emily face to face (or, uh, face to screen)? Below is a running list of upcoming events. Most events will be virtual, though I’m open to outdoor meetings, weather permitting. Most events will also be publicized on the campaign Facebook page.

More events will be added as they’re scheduled. If you’d like to host a campaign meet-and-greet, please let me know!
