Approximately 15 NM from ZZZ and deviating through a line of thunderstorms; we smelled an odor of electrical burning. I called the flight attendant to check the cargo compartment; she called back that she didn't see anything in the cargo compartment but there was a strong odor of an electrical burning smell in the galley area. We [advised ATC] and elected to continue to [our destination] instead of returning. I sent an ACARS message to Dispatch [of our situation]; contacted ATC and requested direct to [our destination]. We called company on inbound frequency and informed them of the nature of our emergency. We informed the flight attendant the TESTS information. We told ATC we were going to stop on the runway; evacuate the passengers; and requested runway 13R. We did not complete AOM procedures as there wasn't enough flight time remaining needing to prepare for the approach; landing; and evacuation. The approach and landing were normal. We stopped on 13R and initiated the emergency evacuation. CFR was at the aircraft as we were stopping the aircraft; they had a ladder available and assisted deplaning. There were three minor injuries; none requested medical assistance. Passengers were corralled in the grass area next to the runway and returned to the terminal in buses.
