One thing we know for certain, John, bigots absolutely hate it when an LGBTQ+ candidate steps up to run for office. And they hate it even more when they win.
As we get closer to Election Day, more anti-equality groups are smearing our candidates. They’re sending anti-LGBTQ threats on social media and calling candidates “groomers” and “pedophiles” for speaking up for LGBTQ+ kids. They’re calling candidates “murderers” for defending the right to choose and the right to privacy. They're using dangerous transphobic stereotypes. It’s outrageous!
We absolutely can't let their homophobia win on Election Day. Our LGBTQ+ candidates are at risk. Pitch in TODAY to defend candidates up and down the ballot from anti-LGBTQ attacks!
In Virginia, Spotlight candidate Danica Roem is facing another transphobic opponent. He's using dog-whistles to attack Danica and happily campaiging with anti-LGBTQ Governor Glenn Youngkin. In Nashville, TN, Eric Patton's opponent for the city council is claiming he stands for "traditional community values" while claiming Eric will only push a "LBGTQ (sic) driven agenda." And numerous school board candidates are facing opponents who want to ban LGBTQ+ issues in schools and force teachers to out students!
John, we can't afford to lose any of these seats. Donate today to build Victory Fund's war chest and defend our most vulnerable candidates!
Thanks for fighting back with us,
