LGBTQ+ Victory Fund endorses Greco
Wednesday, August 28, 2024 by Elizabeth Pagano
Mayoral candidate Doug Greco has earned the endorsement of the LGBTQ+ Victory Fund. The group, which is dedicated to electing LGBTQ+ candidates to office, will work to promote its endorsement and Greco among its supporters. In a statement about the endorsement, the group wrote, “LGBTQ+ people remain severely underrepresented in government nationwide – holding just 0.2 percent of elected positions despite representing at least 7.2 percent of the U.S. population, according to LGBTQ+ Victory Institute. As an out LGBTQ+ leader, Greco will be an unwavering voice for equality in Texas. His priorities in office will include education, workforce development, housing affordability, community safety, protecting the environment, and fighting back against state attacks on local decisions and civil rights.”
