LGBTQ candidates running in key races up and down the ballot
The LGBTQ Victory Fund is supporting “a ton of amazing LGBTQ candidates who’ve stepped forward” this election cycle, the organization’s vice president of political programs, Sean Meloy, told the Washington Blade during an interview last week.
Among the “amazing, historic candidates running for office at all levels,” he said, are national officeholders like U.S. Sen.
Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.), and U.S. House candidates Will Rollins (D-Calif.) and Mondaire Jones (D-N.Y.), along with those running for state and local positions across the country.
Meloy hails from and currently resides in the “swingiest swing state” of 2024, Pennsylvania. He said, “I’ve never seen the kind of LGBTQ organizing at the level it currently is,” thanks in part to Victory’s coordinated efforts with Vice President Kamala Harris’s 2024 campaign.
