The Capital Stonewall Democrats, D.C.’s largest local LGBTQ political group, has announced it has endorsed all but one of the Democratic candidates on the Nov.
5 D.C. election ballot. Among those the group says it has endorsed wholeheartedly are Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris and her vice-presidential running mate, Tim Walz.
The one D.C. Democratic candidate it chose not to endorse is Ward 8 D.C. Council member Trayon White, who was indicted earlier this year on federal bribery charges. “The membership declined to vote on the Ward 8 Council seat until the investigation and trial of the Democratic candidate is concluded,” the group said in an Oct.
9 statement announcing its endorsements. In its endorsements for the two At-Large D.C. Council seats up for election this year, Capital Stonewall Democrats broke from its tradition of endorsing only Democratic candidates.
