LGBTQ+ Stories You Should Know About
Two Victories in Mississippi!
Historic news from Mississippi: on Tuesday, Spotlight candidate Fabian Nelson WON his runoff [[link removed]] ! And even better? As of right now, Fabian does not have an opponent in the general election (we’ll let you know if that changes), virtually ensuring he’ll be sworn-in in January [[link removed]] !
Mississippi is one of two states that has never elected and seated an out LGBTQ+ state legislator - we've only elected a handful of LGBTQ+ candidates in the state's history! Fabian will OFFICIALLY shatter this rainbow ceiling once and for all this November. [[link removed]]

Victory Fund went all-in to support Fabian's campaign. Here's how:
*
At
the
beginning
of
Fabian's
campaign,
we
deployed
staff
on
the
ground,
helping
him
draft
his
narrative,
campaign
messaging
strategy
and
literature;
*
Victory
staff
organized
phone
banks
and
joined
Fabian
on
the
campaign
trail,
knocking
doors
and
organizing
volunteers;
*
We
promoted
his
campaign
to
our
national
network,
ensuring
access
to
new
supporters
(like
you!)
and
encouraged
other
organizations
to
show
their
support;
*
Thanks
to
our
national
network
of
advocates,
we
were
able
to
raise
over
$50,000
that
went
towards
Fabian's
campaign!
Fabian put in the work - and we ensured it paid off.
And what’s better than one win? Two wins! Justin Lofton , running for the Pike County Board of Supervisors, won his runoff by just 27 votes [[link removed]] . He defeated a long-time incumbent [[link removed]] !
