Former Houston Mayor Annise Parker has inspired a rainbow wave of LGBTQ+ candidates, and her legacy demands action. The Annise Parker Candidate Fund empowers Victory Fund-endorsed candidates with the financial resources they need to win—and we’re counting on your leadership to make it happen.
The Opportunity
Victory Fund-endorsed LGBTQ+ candidates are breaking barriers, but they need more than endorsements—they need tangible support to compete and win. This fund is a game-changer.
This is a specific fund to support candidates who need additional means, especially those from low-equality areas running for local offices. Victory Fund will identify candidates through its endorsement process who may need additional funding support.
Every $20 you donate unlocks an additional $1 from the Candidate Fund’s seed founders. Example: $100,000 raised = $5,000 in matching funds.
