Lesbian, Gay,
Bisexual, and Transgender
(LGBT) voters are one of the
most loyal voting-blocks in
the Democratic Party –
second only to the African
American community. We are
everywhere and we vote!
We have
earned our seat at the table
and it is now time to make
sure we have a strong voice
in selecting the Democratic
Party’s presidential nominee
at the National Convention
August 25-28 in Denver. This
is our chance to be a part
of the solution this country
so desperately needs.
National
Stonewall Democrats (NSD)
worked closely with the
National Committee’s LGBT
Caucus to push every state
to set goals for LGBT
delegates to the convention.
But goals are nothing if
they are not met.
That’s where
you come in. We need
you and LGBT Democrats in
every state to run for
national convention
delegate. NSD has put
together Pride in the
Party to help you run
for delegate..
Just sign up
and we’ll make sure the
campaign of your
presidential candidate knows
you want to be a delegate.
Campaigns are looking for
LGBT Democrats just like you
who support them, who want
to run for delegate, and who
want to be a part of
electing a Democratic
President. (But they can’t
talk to you if they can’t
find you. That’s why you
need to sign up!)
Be sure to
also check out the “Delegate
Information” where you can
download information about
your state’s delegate
selection process. Our
summary shows the filing
deadlines and filing
requirements. It also
provides information about
contacting your State
Democratic Party. (Most
State Parties have
information and filing forms
on their website.)

Being a
delegate to the National
Convention is your ticket to
being there as the Party
selects the next President
of the United States. It is
also your chance to get
involved with your state’s
elected leaders and Party
officials. And, the more
involved we are in the
Democratic Party at the
state and local levels, the
more successful we will be
in securing our full
equality in every state.
Through
Pride in the Party, the
National Stonewall Democrats
are working with the
National and State Party
organizations, the
presidential campaigns, our
Stonewall chapters, and many
other national, state, and
