John,
This is why we train LGBTQ people to run for office. Just one hour ago, LGBTQ Texas state Representative Jessica González declared victory, saying: "All anti-trans bills are dead this session!"
As anti-trans bill flooded the Texas state legislature earlier this year, the LGBTQ members of the state House went into action, lobbying fellow legislators and rallying community members to defeat the bills. And they've won.
Without such a strong LGBTQ caucus in Texas, these anti-trans bills would likely have passed, much as they have in other states across the nation. It is why Victory Institute is working constantly to grow the number of LGBTQ elected officials nationwide. To celebrate this victory, will you donate whatever you can to help us train more LGBTQ people to run for office and fight these bills?
Thank you to our incredible LGBTQ state representatives for this enormous win: Jessica González, Mary Gonzalez, Celia Israel, Ann Johnson, Julie Johnson and Erin Zwiener. It wasn't easy, but you did it.
Help Victory Institute train more Jessicas, Marys, Celias, Anns, Julies and Erins. Donate today to support our Candidate & Campaign Training Program. Together, we can grow the number of LGBTQ elected officials and move from defense, to offense.
Thanks so much,
The Victory Institute Team
