When Donald Trump endorsed U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin's opponent, he had this to say about her, John:
"She's a very weak candidate. I mean, if you lose to her, that's not a good thing, OK?"
Look, I could sit here and tell you all the great things Tammy Baldwin has done as a Senator. She's passed countless bills, shattered numerous rainbow ceilings. She's won tough campaigns, and she's done it by reaching across the aisle and listening to her constituents.
But despite having proven herself time and again, someone like Donald Trump is still going to call her a "very weak candidate." It's an insult that will be very familiar to many of our LGBTQ+ candidates. But you and I know that's not true - LGBTQ+ candidates like Tammy can win everywhere. Donate today to stand up for Tammy and LGBTQ+ candidates everywhere!
Someone's always ready to tell us LGBTQ+ candidates can't win if they're out and proud. People tell us LGBTQ+ candidates can't win in states that have passed bigoted bills, like Florida. But Michele Rayner is running for reelection to the Florida legislature, and Carlos Guillermo Smith, Chad Klitzman and Joe Saunders are working hard to join her there. People tell us our candidates can't win in Texas - tell that to Julie Johnson, Molly Cook and Lauren Ashley Simmons. We hear it in Arizona, Georgia, Massachusetts and Vermont.
And that's just the tip of the iceberg. But Very Weak LGBTQ+ Candidates are now serving in Governors' mansions, in the U.S. Congress, in state legislatures and countless city council seats. And we want to elect even more of them. Pitch in TODAY to prove that LGBTQ+ candidates like Tammy can win tough campaigns - and show bigots like Trump how wrong they are.
