John,
Election Day is almost here — and while everyone’s watching the top of the ticket, real change happens closer to home. City councils. School boards. Mayors. These local races decide what our communities look like — from school funding to book bans to everyday services.
We’re working to elect LGBTQ+ candidates at every level — leaders who will fight for fairness, representation, and progress in every town across America. Will you donate $20.25 in honor of one of these candidates today? [[link removed]]
Click a candidate’s name and help Victory Fund give LGBTQ+ candidates a leg-up!
