Hey John - I've been busy pouring over our LGBTQ candidates' second quarter fundraising reports, and I've got some bad news: many of our candidates facing anti-LGBTQ opponents were outraised. Can you chip in $15 right now to keep these LGBTQ candidates competitive?

Here's what's at stake:

• Danice Roem was outraised in Virginia. Her opponent, Kelly McGinn, is an outspoken opponent of marriage equality, LGBTQ adoption and trans rights. She'll rollback LGBTQ rights in Virginia if she wins. 

• Dan Baer could be the first openly gay man elected to the U.S. Senate - but he'll need to beat a crowded primary field and take on anti-LGBTQ U.S. Senator Cory Garder. And Gardner just finished a round of private fundraisers with Mike Pence -- putting lots of money in his war chest!

• In Michigan, Jon Hoadley is gearing up to take on anti-LGBTQ U.S. Congressman Fred Upton in a key swing district. Upton is opposed to non-discrimination protections and marriage rights for LGBTQ people. He has lots of cash in the bank, but Jon will win if we can help. 

John, Victory Fund can provide the campaign services, media visibility and fundraising support these candidatees need to win -- but the amount of support we can provide depends on you. Show Mike Pence, Cory Gardner, Fred Upton and Kelly McGinn you won't let them win. Donate $15 or more now. 

Thanks again for your support,
