They won. Let’s keep them there.
LGBTQ+ Victory Fund is endorsing more than 450 LGBTQ+ elected officials running for re-election in 2026. They serve on city councils, school boards, courts, and state legislatures, and in the U.S. House. Each one has already shown what LGBTQ+ leadership looks like. Now they need your vote and your support to keep serving.
Protecting the progress we’ve made starts with re-electing the leaders who made it.
Anti-LGBTQ+ politicians are targeting our rights in statehouses, school boards, and city halls across the country. The LGBTQ+ officials on this page are the ones standing up to them, from inside the rooms where those decisions get made.
Incumbents are hard to replace. They have records, relationships, and seniority, and they bring LGBTQ+ perspectives to every committee hearing, budget vote, and constituent meeting. Every seat we hold is one we don’t have to win back.

Why re-electing incumbents matters
Holding the line
LGBTQ+ elected officials are often the first and loudest voice against anti-LGBTQ+ bills, and they change how their colleagues vote.
Building the bench
Today’s city council member is tomorrow’s state senator or member of Congress. Re-election keeps the pipeline of LGBTQ+ leaders growing.
Proving it works
Every re-election shows voters, donors, and future candidates that out LGBTQ+ leaders can win and keep winning.
Help keep LGBTQ+ leaders in office.
Your gift helps Victory Fund get these incumbents the money, visibility, and support they need to win re-election.
