Our Endorsements for the November 2 Election
For every election, our membership decides which candidates are most prepared and best able to serve the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community. On August 4, at our membership meeting, the members heard from the Screening Committee, which interviewed each candidate, and made their decisions. The Caucus is a nonpartisan organization. We will endorse more candidates at our September 1 meeting, so this is not a complete list, but the Houston GLBT Political Caucus PAC is proud to announce our endorsement of the following candidates:
