The Victory Fund is basking in Nickie Antonio's history-making primary win earlier this month, which set her on a course to become Ohio's first openly gay lawmaker in the state's 207-year history.

Aided by the Victory Fund, which works to elect LGBT candidates to political office, the Lakewood city councilwoman won the May 4 Democratic primary for the 13th district nomination for the Ohio state house of representatives.
