🗳️ This gay Navy vet is looking to flip a red House seat in Virginia. Democrat Mike Pruitt, 33, is challenging Republican U.S. Rep. John McGuire in a conservative part of the state. Referring to the Trump administration and Trump's military ban on trans troops, Pruitt said, “All they do is lean into the performative cruelty that I worry has become too much of what my opponent is leaning into.” Read The Advocate's interview with Pruitt here.
Onward and upward,
