The importance of the upcoming November 6, 2018 general election cannot be overstated! So much is at stake – on a federal, state, and local level.
We cannot, and must not, allow hard-earned gains in the equal treatment of LGBTQ Texans to be stripped away. We have an opportunity to create a state that reflects the values and priorities of mainstream Texans, not extremists.
We must come together and fight for the state we want. This fall is the time to act with our votes. We cannot sit this out!
