Friend,
I just wanna make sure you saw this note from Representative Cicilline. I am so honored to receive his support and the endorsement of Equality PAC.
Representative Cicilline is spot on — we are all more than what makes us different. My platform, the twists and turns of my career, and where I come from are all the beginning of my story…but we get to decide the next chapter together.
We need to raise $50,000 before midnight on Thursday. (no kidding… it’s wild, but it’s true! 😖) Can I count on you to give $27 before our Federal Election Commission (FEC) filing deadline to help get us there? [[link removed]]
More below!

Friend,
I’m Representative David Cicilline, of Rhode Island’s 1st congressional district. When I was elected as Mayor of Providence years ago, I was the first openly gay elected mayor of a state capital in the country. Later when I was sworn in as a United States Representative, I became only the fourth openly gay member of Congress. We’ve come so far since then — introducing the Defense Against Marriage Act which legalized Gay marriage, co-sponsoring the Gay and Trans Panic Defense Prohibition Act in 2018, and passing the Equality Act in the House in 2019.
Sometimes being the first is just the beginning of the story.
Now as co-chair of Equality PAC, it is my honor to support LGBTQ+ candidates across the country achieving their own set of firsts. When Clay Aiken is elected to represent North Carolina, he will make history as the first openly gay member of Congress representing the South. But Clay doesn’t just provide representation for LGBTQ+ folks across the South, he’s got plans to fight for equality as well — for all Americans. But we need your help.
Clay’s End of Quarter filing deadline is on Thursday, can you chip in $13 to help fuel this historic campaign? [[link removed]]

Becoming a first was only the start of my journey. Since then, I’ve been honored to help and advocate for families across the country (LGBTQ+ and otherwise). I can only imagine the good that Clay will do once he becomes the first.
I’m ready for Clay to make history, but we have to get him across the finish line first.
Can I count on you to donate $13 right now, before his End of Quarter filing deadline hits? [[link removed]]

Thank you,
Congressman David Cicilline
Clay is running for Congress in the North Carolina 4th congressional district. He was born, raised, and is currently raising his son in the Triangle. He's running to use his voice to speak up and stop the loudest voices on the far ends of the political spectrum from sucking up all the oxygen in our political discourse.
Donate now to join the chorus and help send Clay to Congress. [[link removed]]
