We Did It!

We Queered the Vote and now 161 LGBTQ people across the country have been elected to office. That’s a historic amount of diversity for just one mid-term election!

Let’s tell our newly elected officials how happy we are! Please sign the National LGBTQ Task Force's
e-card welcoming them to DC so they know we support them as they head to represent all of us at the state, federal, and local level.

But there’s more good stuff your vote and support made happen. Massachusetts passed the first state-wide anti-discrimination statute supporting transgender rights. And Florida voters gave the right to vote back to people who served their time incarcerated – a disproportionate amount who are LGBTQ people of color.

That’s a lot of awesome queer voting!
