Since I announced I would not be seeking reelection, everyone who meets with me asks me why I “got out.” What was it? As it turns out, I have a lot to say in response. So, I'm writing a book: Bowing Out: Stories and Advice from a One-Term State Legislator. 

​

“Politico, communications and government affairs consultant, a proponent of parity in government for women and non-binary folks, and State Legislator Emily Wicks dives into her reasons for opting out after just one term in public office. Through interviews with former colleagues and other politicos, personal learnings, and her search for answers, Wicks provides knowledge, guidance, and humor about a long-standing political system upheld by the people trying to navigate it. Wicks shares stories, experiences, and lessons learned, pulling from her first job at a public affairs firm, fundraising on a statewide gubernatorial campaign, working as a legislative assistant, and serving her local community as a State Representative during a global pandemic.”
