Celebrate Women's History Month


Women have long been at the forefront of gay politics.
 
Kathy Kozachenko became the first openly LGBT person elected to public office anywhere in America when she won a seat on the Ann Arbor, Mich., City Council in 1974.  Later that year Elaine Noble became the first openly LGBT candidate elected to a state legislature when she was elected in Massachusetts.
 
In 1998, Tammy Baldwin became the first openly LGBT candidate elected to the United States Congress as a freshman.   And last year Annise Parker’s election made Houston the largest U.S. city to elect an openly LGBT mayor.
 
In gay politics, women may be getting it done, but they aren’t done yet.
  • Nickie Antonio could make history as the first openly LGBT person elected to the Ohio state legislature.
  • Lucía Guzmán, running for State Senate in Colorado, is poised to join just three other openly LGBT Hispanics in state legislatures.
  • And State Rep. Cathy Connolly is the only openly LGBT elected official in all of Wyoming, the first state to grant women the right to vote.
Join us in celebrating the women who have played groundbreaking roles in LGBT electoral politics. Contribute to the campaigns of these incredible candidates and help the Victory Fund continue to change the face and voice of America’s politics.
