Only Xavier knows, and he understands and appreciates it, but it was definitely something she risked herself to do.
Also, I hope that she's not only given political roles, but also sort of takes the old role Jean had as Xavier's confidant. That'd free Jean up to do what she wants, and I think Emma would appreciate the extra responsibility, especially since she's essentially the reason the vote passed. That's a shared secret between the two of them. I'm not saying she should start wheeling Xavier around like Jean did, but something similar to that level of trust and responsibility that Xavier used to give Jean.
