LGBTQ+ Stories You Should Know About

100 Days ‘til Election Day!

It’s official! We’re less than 100 days from Election Day 2023. Spotlight candidates Rozia Henson, Josh Cole and Adele McClure, all running for the Virginia House of Delegates, all marked the occasion and urged their voters to get ready to head to the polls.

Spotlight candidate Danica Roem, running for the state Senate, celebrated the best way she knows how: by knocking doors and meeting with voters. She also earned an endorsement from Virginia’s League of Conservation Voters!

Mississippi: Ready for LGBTQ+ History!

Next Tuesday, voters in Mississippi will head to the polls, where they may have the chance to cast their ballots for two historic LGBTQ+ candidates: Spotlight candidate Fabian Nelson and Justin Lofton!

Mississippi is one of the last states that has never elected an out LGBTQ+ state legislator – in fact, there are no out LGBTQ+ elected officials are serving in the state at any level. But once Fabian and Justin win their primaries, we’ll be one step closer to changing that.

“I truly believe that our best days are ahead of us as a country, particularly if we accept and embrace the strengths of this nation, which includes our diversity.”

Sarah also announced an endorsement from EMILY’s List!
