John,
Our latest slate of endorsements is here: 2️⃣9️⃣ new candidates from 13 states and D.C.!
Some highlights include:
* Tal Khan Valbuena (LA Superior Court) immigrated from Pakistan at 18 with $200 and put himself through law school. A practicing Muslim and first-generation citizen, Tal would be the first openly gay person of color on the LA Superior Court.


* Jamar Day (Baltimore City Board of School Commissioners) is a Baltimore native, educator, and government affairs professional. If elected, Jamar would be the first openly gay Black person on the Baltimore City school board.


* Joz Sida (Fontana, CA Mayor) is a community organizer and daughter of immigrants. Joz is running to become the first queer mayor of Fontana.
There's no better way to celebrate Pride Month than pitching in $5.00 (or more!) to help elect these candidates along with the hundreds more we've endorsed in the 2026 cycle! [[link removed]]
