Welcome to The Agenda (yeah - THAT agenda), your weekly update on what's happening in the LGBTQ political world. Whatever you do, don’t forward it to Mike Pence. He doesn't need to know what we're planning! Forward it to a friend instead.

Overview: Todd and Mary prepare for victory, Pete picks up big endorsements and more
THE NEXT TOP LGBTQ MAYOR
Just days after new polling showed Spotlight candidate Todd Gloria in first place for Mayor of San Diego, he issued his fundraising numbers: a whopping $1 million.
Todd also sat down with the San Diego Union-Tribune Editorial Board for an in-depth dive into his future policies. Read the full interview here.
In Baltimore, Spotlight candidate Mary Washington squared off against the other candidates for Mayor to discuss how they’d handle Baltimore’s notorious crime rate.

MORE ENDORSEMENTS, LESS PROBLEMS
Another big LGBTQ endorsement for Pete Buttigieg: Equality California and Equality Nevada officially endorsed!
Victory Fund President & CEO Mayor Annise Parker campaigned in New Hampshire last weekend as a surrogate for Pete. Watch the video here.
Congressional candidate for New York's 17th district, Mondaire Jones, received a coveted endorsement from U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren!
Meanwhile in the race for New York's 15th district, Ritchie Torres received the nod from End Citizens United, a PAC aimed at ending dark money in politics.
And in Texas's 23rd district, Gina Ortiz Jones was named one of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee’s Red to Blue races!

CANDIDATE SPOTLIGHT: GRAY ELLIS



MOMENT OF ZEN
It’s a bit early in the season, but we’re keeping a close eye on Politico’s 2020 Predictions. We’re ready for these seats to flip to pro-equality candidates!
South Dakota has NO LGBTQ state legislators, and it really shows: they’re attempting to target transgender youth.
A little throwback for you: watch Congressional candidate Pat Hackett challenge Mike Pence’s ‘theology of hate’. She’s ready to win in Indiana!

LGBTQ Victory Fund has helped thousands of openly LGBTQ candidates win elections up and down the ballot, from sea to shining sea since our founding in 1991. We believe representation is power – so we elected U.S. Senators Tammy Baldwin and Kyrsten Sinema, Governors Jared Polis and Kate Brown, all seven LGBTQ members of U.S. Congress and countless candidates for state and local government, including Virginia Delegate Danica Roem, Colorado state Representative Leslie Herod and Pennsylvania Assemblymember Brian Sims. And with an unprecedented number of LGBTQ people running for office in this year, we’ll need your support to make 2020 the next Rainbow Wave.
