John,

I'm so excited to share with you the 2022 Out for America report, our annual look at the number and demographics of out LGBTQ elected officials in the United States. You can read about it in The Hill. Or if you want to get into the details, you can browse the full report and all the key findings here.

Over the past year, an astonishing number of out candidates won their races, including many Victory Institute trainees and program participants who shattered lavender ceilings around the country. The number of out elected officials increased by 5.8% and a record-breaking 1,043 are currently serving in elected office in the United States!

Our LGBTQ elected officials are not just growing in number – they are also becoming more diverse. Last year...

 
LGBTQ HISTORY IN THE MAKING WITH VICTORY INSTITUTE 132.8% increase in LGBTQ elected officials serving since the first OFA report was published 26.8% increase in bisexual elected officials 12.3% increase in LGBTQ elected officials of color 19.2% increase in AAPI elected officials 32 states have non-cisgender elected officials serving 49 states have an out LGBTQ person serving in government!

These are milestones to celebrate – and a clear sign that the hard work we're doing to support and grow LGBTQ political power is paying off. But there's still a lot of hard work to do. We still must elect 35,854 more LGBTQ people to achieve equitable representation.

But we can change that. With your support, we can keep expanding our programming and conducting groundbreaking research like this. Make a generous donation to power our movement and close the representation gap!

Far too many states have never elected an out member of the U.S. Congress, an out U.S. Senator or an out governor. To achieve true parity, we must support the next generation of out leaders and ensure our current leaders have the resources they need to succeed. Pitch in today and power tomorrow's rainbow wave.

Thanks,
