Welcome to The Agenda (yeah - THAT agenda), your weekly update on what's happening in the LGBTQ political world. Whatever you do, don’t forward it to Mike Pence. He doesn't need to know what we're planning! Forward it to a friend instead.

Overview: LGBTQ candidates are staying safe and working hard to flip seats!
THE NEXT TOP LGBTQ MAYOR
Spotlight candidate Mary Washington is taking all the right steps to help contain COVID-19. But don’t worry – she’s still spreading her message and campaigning hard!
Mary also received two huge endorsements in her race for Mayor of Baltimore: Our Revolution and NARAL!
Spotlight candidate Todd Gloria is on the cusp of making history, and is only one election away from becoming the first LGBTQ person elected mayor of San Diego.
Gloria also urged more states and Congress to adopt paid sick leave and create more health care options for Americans.
FLIP! THAT! SEAT!
Great news for Gina Ortiz Jones in Texas’s 23rd Congressional district: primary turnout was at an all-time high, indicating huge enthusiasm for our candidates.
To capitalize on the momentum, pro-equality groups are ready to mobilize and spend to flip seats across the country.
A nice endorsement for Spotlight candidate Jess Benham in the race for Pennsylvania House, District 36: her opponent’s chief of staff is supporting her!

LGBTQ Victory Fund has helped thousands of openly LGBTQ candidates win elections up and down the ballot, from sea to shining sea since our founding in 1991. We believe representation is power – so we elected U.S. Senators Tammy Baldwin and Kyrsten Sinema, Governors Jared Polis and Kate Brown, all seven LGBTQ members of U.S. Congress and countless candidates for state and local government, including Virginia Delegate Danica Roem, Colorado state Representative Leslie Herod and Pennsylvania Assemblymember Brian Sims. And with an unprecedented number of LGBTQ people running for office in this year, we’ll need your support to make 2020 the next Rainbow Wave.
