John,

We're about to wrap up the 2025 campaign cycle (only one more runoff to win!). This year was another landmark election night for LGBTQ+ candidates. 67% of our endorsed candidates won!

I can tell you right now, when this community comes together, we win on election night. And we're back to work to keep the momentum going. We're headed into the midterms, and we'll not only have key Senate and House races to win - but state legislatures to flip and city councils to secure. We're not slowing down. Pitch in today to power the 2026 Rainbow Wave - and rack up more amazing headlines like these!

Here's just some of the headlines we've seen on past election nights:
