Hi John: In 2018, LGBTQ candidates won BIG on election night. We elected the most LGBTQ members of Congress EVER, and made history in state legislatures across the country. And this year, we've continued the big wins, electing three new lesbian mayors in Chicago, Tampa and Madison – making 2019 the Year of the Lesbian Mayor! It’s been a great year so far - but we have to keep the momentum going into November. Chip in today to make headlines like these on Election Night: If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately: It takes a lot of work, but our efforts are critical to pushing many of our candidates across the finish line. And we're not resting: we're going to provide campaign support, have staff on the ground and raise thousands of dollars for our candidates. Here's just some of the 107 LGBTQ candidates still running: Spotlight candidates Danica Roem and Dawn Adams are key to holding a pro-equality majority in the Virginia Legislature. During the last election, control of the legislature was decided by a coin flip (literally)! Eliz Markowitz could flip a seat previously held by a right-wing extremist. Her race for Texas House District 28 is one of the most important in the country! And right in Mike Pence's backyard, Ali Brown is running to be the first openly LGBTQ woman elected to the Indianapolis City-County Council! Before they win, they're going to need our support. Will you stand with them and chip in today? Donate now. Thanks again for your support - Elliot Imse Senior Director of Communications |
