Approximately 574 openly LGBTQ candidates were on general election ballots last week, according to the LGBTQ Victory Fund, a national organization that trains, supports and advocates for queer candidates. State election results and local reports found that more than 220 of these candidates have already claimed victory, with dozens of contests yet to be called.
The fund estimated that in 2018, there were approximately 432 openly LGBTQ candidates on general election ballots, with 244 winning their races. This year, they expect the total number of wins to surpass this number.
