RECORD NUMBERS OF TRANS AND NON-BINARY PEOPLE ARE RUNNING FOR OFFICE THIS YEAR.
PITCH IN TO HELP THEM WIN!

I'm so proud to share this headline from The Washington Post with you John:
A record number of trans and non-binary people are running for office
This article, featuring three of our amazing trans and non-binary candidates, came about because Victory Fund is the keeper of LGBTQ representation data. It took quite a bit of time and effort to pull this data together, but headlines like these that help our candidates shine make the hard work worth it.
But that's not the only reason I'm excited to share this headline. The number of trans and non-binary people running for office just keeps growing, despite bigots' attempts to vilify and humiliate trans people. And when they're elected, they'll fight back. Pitch in today to help trans and non-binary candidates WIN!
By stepping up to run, these candidates are showing enormous bravery. They're standing up to years of anti-LGBTQ bills focused on discriminating against trans youth, gender affirming health care and banning LGBTQ narratives. They're facing down transphobes who call them horrific names and issue death threats. They know the hate for our community faces, and they're standing up to stop it.
We can't let them fight alone. Help Victory Fund elect a historic number of trans and non-binary candidates this November by donating today!
Thanks for standing with us,
