Washington D.C. (April 12, 2021) –  LPAC, the only organization dedicated to electing LGBTQ women to local, state, and federal office, today announces its seven latest endorsements for the 2021-2022 election cycle. See our full list of current endorsees here.

At the top of this slate are the two incumbent LGBTQ woman serving in Congress: Rep. Angie Craig (MN-2) and Rep. Sharice Davids (KS-3). Both Congresswomen face challenging races in 2022, and LPAC is proud to be one of the first progressive organizations to formally endorse them in their re-election bids.

Rounding out the slate are a mix of incumbents, challengers, and open seat candidates running at every level of government across the United States -- from Jasmine Beach-Ferrara taking on Rep. Madison Cawthorn in North Carolina's 11th CD to Sändra Washington's election to remain on the Lincoln, NE City Council to Liliana Bakhtiari's bid to become one of the first queer Muslim women in America to hold elected office.
