COMING UP: PRIDE MONTH PRIMARIES
Things continue to heat up in Ritchie Torres’ race for New York’s 15th Congressional District: Bronx United launched an attack ad highlighting Rubén Díaz Sr.’s anti-LGBTQ record [[link removed]] . Need a refresher on the race? Newsweek has you covered [[link removed]] .
Spotlight candidate Kim Jackson received a glowing profile from Shondaland ! Read up on her race and our chance to make history in the Georgia state Senate [[link removed]] .
Spotlight candidate Jessica Benham received an endorsement from Represent PA, a group dedicated to electing pro-choice Democratic women [[link removed]] ! Jess also joined Victory Fund endorsed incumbents Brian Sims and Malcolm Kenyatta for WINNING 2020! They’re ready to bring more LGBTQ representation to the Pennsylvania state legislature. Watch here [[link removed]] !
We think these two speeches from the Pennsylvania House floor earned Malcolm Kenyatta his reelection: one where he passionately defended low-wage workers facing higher danger from COVID-19 [[link removed]] and one where he told his coming out story to demand an end to discrimination against the LGBTQ community.

Endorsed candidates Jabari Brisport (running for New York state Senate), Kyle Meraz (running for the Oklahoma House of Representatives and Rosemary Ketchum (running for the Wheeling (KY) City Council) joined us for an update on their races and their daily work to combat the impacts of COVID-19.

A QUICK CORRECTION
Yesterday in an email to our Texas supporters, we mistakenly described Texas state Representative Sarah Davis as "anti-LGBTQ." She is not and is in fact a strong ally of the community and a member of the Texas House LGBTQ Caucus. We truly apologize for the error.

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.
