Having gone to college in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, I often had the pleasure of visiting my neighbors to the west in Minnesota. So I’m excited to once again see so many friendly faces when I join the Minnesota DFL for its annual LGBTQ Leadership Event on Tuesday, July 21st at 5:00pm.

Having gone to college in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, I often had the pleasure of visiting my neighbors to the west in Minnesota. So I’m excited to once again see so many friendly faces when I join the Minnesota DFL for its annual LGBTQ Leadership Event on Tuesday, July 21st at 5:00pm.

The truth is we’ve come a long way in our quest for LGBTQ rights, but we still have so much further to go. This past year on the campaign trail with Pete has given me a lot of time to reflect on the state of our country, especially as a gay man living in the Midwest. What grounds me every day is doing the work and moving forward.

I am honored to be invited to spend the evening with a few trailblazers in the movement—Danica Roem, Angie Craig, and Reggie Greer—and I’d love for you to be there too! You can register here and submit questions to me and other panelists.

Talk soon,
Chasten

Subj: You’re Invited: DFL’s Annual LGBTQ Leadership Event

Hi John,

Today we are launching our largest virtual event yet: Our LGBTQ Leadership Panel with U.S. Congresswoman Angie Craig, Chasten Buttigieg, Danica Roem, and Reggie Greer.

In 2018, Minnesota Congresswoman Angie Craig made history as the first lesbian mom elected to Congress. On July 21st she will be moderating a virtual panel with national leaders:

  • Chasten Buttigieg spent the past year on the Presidential Campaign trail with his husband, Pete.
  • Danica Roem made history as the first transgender person to serve in any state legislature in the country.
  • Reggie Greer serves as Joe Biden’s LGBTQ Vote Director and will speak to DFLers about the commitments and efforts of the Biden campaign this election cycle.

We can’t wait to hear from each of these trailblazers as we celebrate the progress we have made for LGBTQ liberation and discuss the work that remains to be done. Please join us on Tuesday July 21st at 5:00 pm CT to hear from these leaders, ask them your questions, and support the DFL ahead of the critical 2020 elections.
