Hi again John,
After this morning’s email, I think we could all use a bit of good news. And here it is! After a lot of research and analyzing the data, our team is ready to present “Election 2019 by the Numbers”. [[link removed]]
As you can see, LGBTQ equality leapt forward in 2019. Ninety-eight non-incumbent candidates won their races, adding a new generation of LGBTQ leadership to state legislatures, local offices and mayors’ offices around the country. A record number of trans women won their races, including Danica Roem in Virginia and Holly Ryan in Massachusetts. In negative equality states – including states with no LGBTQ representation – 11 candidates won their races, signaling a shift in voter perception about LGBTQ issues.
We must capitalize on this momentum and build our resources. We’re preparing for the next Rainbow Wave, and we need your help to make it happen. Join the Victory Caucus today with a monthly gift of just $3 or more. [[link removed]]
And during this “off-year” election cycle, Victory Fund endorsed more LGBTQ candidates than in any other odd-numbered year in our organization’s history. Over 80 Victory Fund candidates won their races on Election night, leaving us with a win rate of 75%.
These candidates crossed the finish line thanks to generous supporters like you. We raised more than $370,000 for our candidates, including over $120,000 to support Danica Roem’s reelection campaign and help her fend off those anti-trans attacks. We provided campaign advice, fundraising support and media visibility for our candidates to help ensure they made history.
These are great numbers and we have a lot to celebrate. But we can’t rest. It’s time to gear up for 2020 and the battles that will undoubtedly come next. We’ll need a massive war chest if we’re going to replicate 2019’s results. Start a monthly gift of $3 or more today and become a Victory Caucus member. [[link removed]]
Thanks so much for your support,
Mayor Annise Parker
