Hey John -

I'm so excited to share with you Victory Fund's latest report, Out on the Trail, which shows the number and demographics of LGBTQ candidates running in the 2021 election cycle! You can read about the report in this morning’s USA Today or you can jump into the full report right away.

You've heard us say this before: there's no such thing as an off-year. And you can see how true that is when reading this report. Not only are LGBTQ candidates running all over the country, but an overwhelming majority are running for local offices and other down-ballot races, ensuring we'll have essential representation at every level of government.

Here's a breakdown of the key findings:

It's inspiring to know that so many LGBTQ people have stepped up to run. They do it knowing that they could face all manner of attacks, that their name, gender, sexual orientation or race will be put under a microscope and cross-examined for imagined flaws. And despite that, they choose to run and make our political process more equal. That's something we should all celebrate. And if you can power our work to elect all these amazing candidates, please chip in here!

Thanks,

Elliot Imse
