"The number of openly LGBTQ elected officials in the United States has more than doubled in the past four years — and those ranks could soon grow, thanks to a record field of LGBTQ candidates this year."

John,
There's great news - and some bad news. The good news is the AP headline you see above. More and more LGBTQ people are running for office! But here's the bad news: without a huge surge of grassroots donations, we won't be able to support all of their campaigns. Will you donate $10 or MORE today and help us shatter records?
A lot of our candidates are on the cusp of making history. They just need a little more help to make it across the finish line on Election Day. Many had their primaries moved back, forcing them to raise more money for an unexpectedly extended campaign, so they can keep up mailings and other strategies and continue to pay for staff and their healthcare. They’re an amazing group, and we can’t let them down.
If you can chip in today, it’ll go a long way to support Victory Fund’s work and our amazing candidates. I hope you’ll stand with us. Thank you so much for your support!
