John,
Last week, Roll Call published a pretty alarming report detailing all the ways COVID-19 could impact the 2020 elections. Here's a piece that caught my eye and it describes a lot of our LGBTQ candidates:

Here's the reality: many of our candidates depend on a strong ground game, volunteers and in-person meetings to win. These have always been the pillars of a strong campaign. But without these tried-and-true methods, three endorsed candidates had to drop out of their races just in the past two weeks. We must support our LGBTQ candidates, and we need your help now. Will you help Victory Fund hit our End of Quarter Fundraising goal today? [[link removed]]

And the candidates who are well-funded? That would be our opponents. We saw it in 2018, when bigots spent billions of dollars to defeat Tammy Baldwin and our LGBTQ members of Congress. We saw it in 2019, when "Bigot Bob" Marshall funneled money to Danica Roem's opponent as a reward for standing against trans rights. We're already seeing it in Texas, North Carolina and Pennsylvania as money pours into the state legislative races to prop up failing candidates without dated ideas.
As campaign norms are thrown out the window, we have to be ready to provide essential campaign services and help our LGBTQ candidates navigate this new reality. Chip in today and help us hit our essential End of Quarter Fundraisng Goal. [[link removed]]
We couldn't do this without you, John.
