John,
Amazing news from the Biden transition team: they just announced that Pennsylvania's Dr. Rachel Levine will be nominated as Assistant Secretary of Health! She is now the first out trans person ever nominated for a Senate-confirmed appointment and will bring a unique - and historic - perspective to the table.
By nominating Dr. Levine as Assistant Health Secretary, President-elect Biden is on-track to fulfill his promise to have the most pro-equality government in history. But there are still so many qualified LGBTQ leaders looking to join his Administration. Will you make a donation to support our Presidential Appointments Initiative? [[link removed]]

Dr. Levine is more than ready to take on this new challenge. As the Pennsylvania Health Secretary, she's been tackling the COVID-19 pandemic, instituting a pragmatic approach that saved countless lives. And she's no stranger to the pressures of public office. When Jenna Ellis misgendered and insulted Dr. Levine in an attempt to rile up Trump's base, Dr. Levine urged people to gain a better understanding of LGBTQ issues and have deeper discussions about protecting trans lives. We're thrilled that trans Americans will finally have representation in the highest levels of the federal government, and that someone who shares their lived experiences will be making informed decisions about trans health.
LGBTQ Victory Institute’s Presidential Appointments Initiative put Dr. Levine's name forward and worked closely with the Biden Administration and Dr. Levine to make this historic first happen. The next step: work to ensure her nomination is approved by the U.S. Senate.! Will you make a generous donation to celebrate Dr. Levine's appointment and power our work today? [[link removed]]
Don't forget to raise a glass to Dr. Levine today,
