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: Future mayors making moves, Texas on the line and more!
FUTURE MAYORS MAKING WAVES
There’s new polling in Todd Gloria’s race for San Diego Mayor: he’s comfortably claiming first place.
Mary Washington, running to be the first LGBTQ Mayor of Baltimore, raised $110,000 in the final month and a half of 2019.
How’d she celebrate this fundraising haul? By hitting the doors and meeting voters, of course!
DON'T MESS WITH TEXAS
We’re in the final stretch of Spotlight candidate Eliz Markowitz’s campaign to flip Texas House District 28. Early voting begins next Tuesday.
Eliz’s victory could mean a very blue wave takes Texas in 2020, and as a result, is drawing big names. Beto O’Rourke is hitting the trail with Eliz again!
The Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee has also committed to flipping Eliz's seat and the Texas House. They've just announced a plan to spend $50 million dollars flipping state legislatures around the country, starting with Texas!

RAINBOW WAVE 2020
Pete Buttigieg sat down with The New York Times editorial board for an extensive interview covering the race thus far, including polling and Pete’s future policy plans. The Times will issue their 2020 endorsement this weekend.
In a big win for Team Pete, U.S. Representative Annie Kuster is endorsing Pete before the New Hampshire primary.
Great news for Game Changer Gina Ortiz Jones: the DCCC is committed to targeting Latinx voters in Texas-23. And that won’t just impact Gina’s race: Latinx voters could determine the 2020 Presidential race.
Game Changer Mondaire Jones is running because he always wanted to see people like him in the halls of Congress. Now he’s fighting to be the first openly LGBTQ Black Congressman!

MOMENT OF ZEN
Grab your map and mark these states: a wave of new discriminatory bills are targeting trans high school students.
Shevrin Jones, campaigning for Florida Senate District 35, will enter 2020 with $120,000 available in cash on hand, out-raising the rest of the field. Congratulations, Shevrin!

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.
