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: Hey folks – this will be the last Agenda for 2019. We’ll be back in 2020!
GOOD MORNING, BALTIMORE
All is not well in Charm City. Phillip Westry, running to be the first openly LGBTQ member of the Baltimore City Council, recently lost his job because he chose to run for office.
Despite this enormous setback, however, Phillip is still hard at work on the campaign trail, meeting constituents and opening a new campaign office.
Mary Washington caught up with Fox News 45 to explain why she’s the best choice for Baltimore’s voters. Watch her make her case for Mayor here:

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.
