Hey there,
🗳️ The 2024 election will set the stage for LGBTQ+ rights for years. Democratic presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz face the Republican ticket of former President Donald Trump and Ohio U.S. Sen. JD Vance. In some states, marriage equality is on the ballot to overturn former same-sex marriage bans. And several out politicians are running to join or stay in Congress. We've compiled a voter guide to help you understand what is on the ballot and who is running. 🗳️
Onward and upward,
Alex Cooper
