John,

If you know me, you know I'm the numbers guy - it's my job to make sure Victory Fund has the financial resources it needs to keep winning! And right now, our first End of Quarter deadline is almost here, but we're still short of our midnight goal. Can I count on you to make another generous donation to elect LGBTQ+ candidates across the country?

This deadline couldn’t be more critical. After the intense 2022 election cycle – when anti-LGBTQ attacks and bigoted legislation was at an all-time high – Victory Fund went all in to elect the most out candidates in U.S. history. And thanks to your investment, more LGBTQ+ voices were added to the U.S. Congress, state legislatures, mayoral seats and city councils across the country (thank you!).

We can't slow down this year. Demand for our endorsement is rising and more LGBTQ+ people are running. The political landscape is dire: we’re seeing more cruel and discriminatory legislation in state legislatures. Everything from drag shows, to LGBTQ+-friendly education, to gender-affirming healthcare to basic civil rights are under attack.

The best way to fight back against our terrifying political reality is by electing more qualified members of our community to office. We’re still fighting against bigotry on the campaign trail and ensuring pro-choice LGBTQ+ candidates have the resources to win. But if we don’t hit this End of Quarter goal, we won’t have the resources we need to win. So can I count on you, John? Will you make one more gift before this essential deadline for LGBTQ+ history?

Thanks again for standing with us,

Seth Schermer
