John, too few trans people have been elected in the United States. But today, Stephanie Byers shattered a rainbow ceiling in Kansas and became the FIRST openly trans member of the Kansas state legislature and the FIRST out trans person of color ever elected to a state legislature!
Over the years, Kansas has been home to some of the worst pieces of anti-LGBTQ legislation. This legislature attempted to rollback marriage equality and strengthen anti-equality laws. Together with our two amazing incumbents Susan Ruiz and Brandon Woodard, who are on-track to win their reelection campaigns, Stephanie will join a growing number of LGBTQ voices in the Kansas state House and defend LGBTQ people everywhere!
This is a historic day, and we’re so excited that Stephanie won. If you want to make a celebratory gift in her honor so we can keep electing trans candidates in 2021, it’s appreciated!
Thanks again for standing up for equality,
LGBTQ Victory Fund

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.
