Sterling Heights, MI — LGBTQ+ Victory Fund has endorsed Eric Chung for Michigan’s 10th Congressional District.
Evan Low, President & CEO of the LGBTQ+ Victory Fund, released the following statement: “I am proud to announce that the LGBTQ+ Victory Fund is endorsing Eric Chung for Michigan’s 10th Congressional District. When he wins, Eric will make history as the first openly LGBTQ+ person to represent Michigan in Congress, and only the second openly LGBTQ+ Asian American U.S. Representative nationwide. An energetic constitutional lawyer with a firsthand economic perspective as a son of an autoworker and immigrants from Vietnam, Eric is committed to protecting the rights and freedoms of our communities and ensuring that LGBTQ+ people — and all Americans — can afford to live, work, and raise their families with dignity. We are proud to stand with him in this critical race.”
“I am honored to have the LGBTQ+ Victory Fund’s endorsement in our campaign for Michigan’s 10th Congressional District,” Eric said. “Representation matters — and it creates better outcomes for our communities. I’m running to ensure that every Michigander, including LGBTQ+ people, feels safe and free to live, work, and prosper in our country. I’m grateful to have Victory Fund by my side as we strive to make history in Michigan and nationwide.”
Eric is the only candidate in the race who has been endorsed by a strong combination of local, state, and national leaders, including elected officials from across Macomb and Oakland County, members of the Michigan Legislature, and ten Members of Congress..
ASPIRE PAC (representing 20 Asian American and Pacific Islander Members of Congress), Equality PAC (representing 191 Members of Congress who are LGBTQ+ or allies), the Asian American Action Fund, and the Asian American Pacific Islander Victory Fund have also endorsed his campaign.
Eric announced in October that he had raised over $870,000 in five months after launching his campaign to flip Michigan’s 10th Congressional District on April 30th. That number is the highest amount any Democratic candidate has ever raised ahead of the primary election in the district’s history.
