LGBTQ elected leaders are ‘the strongest line of defense’
“Because of these ever growing attacks on our community, the need for LGBT leaders has never been greater”.

But we can only help them WIN with your help!
Did you see Mayor Parker's interview with the The LA Blade? LGBTQ+ candidates are running in record numbers -- and at Victory Fund, we’re doing everything we can to make sure they win in record numbers, John.
Look -- our rights are under attack. In 2023, there were record-breaking numbers of anti-LGBTQ bills introduced around the country. And the numbers are sky-high again in 2024. Bigots are still trying to rollback access to gender-affirming healthcare, ban pro-LGBTQ+ books, villainize trans people and drag queens and pass more stricter versions of Ron DeSantis's horrific 'Don't Say Gay' bill.
So our community is fighting back at the ballot box. And Victory Fund is on the front lines. We've already endorsed more than 130 candidates this cycle, and our goal is to support three times that number. But the only way we can do that is if you help. Will you make an investment in building the strong campaigns LGBTQ+ candidates need to beat the bigots and win?
It's clear these candidates are ready to fight for our rights. And every candidate that wins inspires even more LGBTQ+ people to run for office themselves. Each Rainbow Wave powers the next one!
We've been helping LGBTQ+ candidates win since 1991 - and we can't stop now. With our rights under threat, your support for our work is more important than ever. Will you pitch in now to make sure this surge in LGBTQ+ candidates translates into a surge of WINS in November?
Thank you,
Sean Meloy
