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 Wisconsin candidates win despite obstacles, lots of videos to watch and more!
VICTORY IN WISCONSIN!
ICYMI: Wisconsin held an in-person election that Politico called “the most dangerous election ever.”
Despite the chaos and disorder, three of our LGBTQ candidates pulled off historic wins!
Judge-elect Brett Blomme is now the second openly gay man elected to a Wisconsin judiciary seat. Brett celebrated his election by thanking his family (awwwwww!) and pledged to fight for a more equal justice system.
JoCasta Zamarripa made history as the first openly LGBTQ member of the Milwaukee Common Council. Her first act? Pledging to work with her opponent to find solutions and common ground. Now that’s leadership!

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.
