John:
I'm so excited to share with you the 2023 Out for America report [[link removed]] , our annual look at the number and demographics of out LGBTQ+ elected officials in the United States. If you want to get into the details, you can browse the full report and all the key findings here [[link removed]] .
Over the past year, an astonishing number of out candidates won their races, including many Victory Institute trainees and program participants who shattered lavender ceilings around the country. The number of out elected officials increased by 13.6% and a record-breaking 1,185 are currently serving in elected office in the United States!
Our LGBTQ+ elected officials are not just growing in number – they are also becoming more diverse. Last year...

These are milestones to celebrate - and a clear sign that the hard work we're doing to support and grow LGBTQ+ political power is paying off. But there's still a lot of hard work to do. We still must elect 36,232 more LGBTQ+ people to achieve equitable representation.
But we can change that. We need LGBTQ+ voices in office more than ever - we can't afford to let representation slip. With your support, we can keep expanding our programming and keep training LGBTQ+ candidates to win. Make a generous donation to power our movement and elect more LGBTQ+ leaders up and down the ballot! [[link removed]]

Far too many states have never elected an out member of the U.S. Congress, an out U.S. Senator or an out governor. To achieve true parity, we must support the next generation of out leaders and ensure our current leaders have the resources they need to succeed. Pitch in today and power tomorrow's rainbow wave.

Thanks,
