Stonewall Responds to Democratic Victories
Washington, DC - Tonight, the National Stonewall Democrats released the following statement on key victories by Democrats in federal, state and local races:
"Today, Americans have rejected the failed politics that divided our families in the past in favor of new leaders with new priorities. Our members labored with Democrats in precincts across the country to achieve success tonight at the ballot box. We must now use the political victories won today to secure concrete results tomorrow."
"An obligation now weighs on LGBT Democrats to help the Democratic Party deepen its support for our families in its new capacity. It is only Democratic leadership that can deliver the bipartisan efforts required to pass fair-minded legislation in Congress and at the statehouse. We are already working with our members to help Democrats use their newly won position to fulfill the potential of our party and the promise it has given to our families."
- Jo Wyrick, Executive Director, National Stonewall Democrats
