Welcome to The Agenda (yeah - THAT agenda), your weekly update on what's happening in the LGBTQ political world. Whatever you do, don’t forward it to Mike Pence. He doesn't need to know what we're planning! Forward it to a friend instead.

Overview: Runoffs and new endorsements in Texas, picketing in New York and more!
ELECTION NIGHT: RESULTS PENDING
We’re ONE DAY AWAY from Runoff Day in Houston, Texas! Both Isabel Longoria and Shelley Kennedy are on the ballot for the Houston City Council.
Shelley is busy knocking doors and announcing endorsements, including one from Greg Meyers, her former opponent.
Isabel is also touting her endorsement record – she has the most of any candidate in the race!
And Spotlight Candidate Eliz Markowitz is still campaigning hard for her Texas House runoff on January 28 – check out her holiday message here!
2020 VISION
U.S. Rep. Fred Upton has taken a stand on impeachment: he’s voting against it. Thank goodness Game Changer Jon Hoadley is running against him – and taking him to task on Twitter.
A big endorsement for Gina Ortiz Jones in Texas – BOLD PAC is standing with her campaign for U.S. Congress!
In New York’s 15th District, Game Changer Ritchie Torres is busy making his case to voters and detailing how he’ll represent his Bronx community.
And in New York’s 17th, Mondaire Jones is picketing with 32BJ SEIU – the nation’s largest property services union – after workers began striking for fair contracts. Take a look:



MOMENT OF ZEN
Start of the decade, end of the decade: ten years ago yesterday, Annise Parker became the first openly LGBTQ person elected mayor of a major American city when she won her race in Houston. We are so proud to now have her as our President & CEO.
Speaking of mayors: Todd Gloria is on the verge of becoming the first openly LGBTQ person elected mayor of San Diego.

Paid for by the LGBTQ Victory Fund and not authorized by any candidate or candidate's committee.

LGBTQ Victory Fund has helped thousands of openly LGBTQ candidates win elections up and down the ballot, from sea to shining sea since our founding in 1991. We believe representation is power – so we elected U.S. Senators Tammy Baldwin and Kyrsten Sinema, Governors Jared Polis and Kate Brown, all seven LGBTQ members of U.S. Congress and countless candidates for state and local government, including Virginia Delegate Danica Roem, Colorado state Representative Leslie Herod and Pennsylvania Assemblymember Brian Sims. And with an unprecedented number of LGBTQ people running for office in this year, we’ll need your support to make 2020 the next Rainbow Wave.
