“Emily embodies the ideals of public service and dedication to her community – that’s why voters trust her to be their voice in Congress. At LGBTQ+ Victory Fund we work to ensure our leaders in government reflect the beautiful diversity of our country, and it’s far overdue that LGBTQ+ Latinas are represented in the halls of power. We have stood with Emily in each of her races, from flipping a seat in 2018 to this hard-fought Congressional primary win.
