Washington D.C. (July 18, 2023) –  LPAC, the only organization dedicated to electing LGBTQ women to local, state, and federal office is thrilled to announce our endorsement of five excellent candidates.

These LGBTQ women are dedicated public servants and exemplify some of what is best about our community. You can find out more about each candidate below.
