Hey John -

This month marks the one year anniversary of my time at Victory Fund. Over the course of my year on the political team, I've had the pleasure of working with so many candidates. I was able to campaign with Tiffany Cabán and her team in Queens, hearing firsthand from voters on what her historic run meant to them. Witnessing others from my community coming up, coming out and running for office motivates me daily.  

But Latinx LGBTQ candidates face huge hurdles and must navigate voters reckoning with their sexuality and their race. Help boost these groundbreaking candidates - donate $5 or more to show you'll increase LGBTQ representation for every member of our community. >>

That's one of the reasons LGBTQ people don't run for public office - some think the struggle isn't worth the risk. But John, every LGBTQ candidate who is brave enough to run makes an impact on the race. We know LGBTQ candidates change the conversation - and outdated perceptions of who we are.

Latinx voter participation is surging in 2020, and I hope we'll see even more Latinx LGBTQ people running for public office and winning. With your help, we can elect Ritchie Torres as the first openly LGBTQ Afro-Latinx member of Congress, Sebastian Rey as the ONLY openly LGBTQ elected official in Louisiana, and help Tiffany Cabán win a tough recount in Queens. Donate now to bring LGBTQ Latinx voices to all levels of government - and make LGBTQ history at the same time. >>

Thanks again for your support, 

Cesar Toledo
