Political Notes: LGBTQ California candidates secure LGBTQ groups' support
A number of LGBTQ candidates seeking congressional and state legislative seats in California have picked up the backing of two high-profile LGBTQ advocacy organizations.
In most of the races the endorsements overlap, though one of the groups is so far sitting out the special election for an Assembly seat in San Francisco.
In that contest the LGBTQ Victory Fund, which helps to elect out candidates at all levels across the country, announced January 26 it had endorsed gay California Democratic Party Vice Chair David Campos to serve in the City-by-the-Bay's 17th Assembly District seat.
It includes the LGBTQ neighborhoods of the Castro, Tenderloin, and South of Market. Campos, a former city supervisor and police commissioner, had previously sought the legislative seat in 2014.
