"We are proud to share that Ritchie Torres, co-chair of Equality PAC, helped raise over $260,000 for House Democratic frontliners this November as part of an Equality PAC event on September 10," Larivee said in a statement. 'This impressive haul puts Ritchie at over $18.4 million raised for Equality PAC and LGBTQ candidates for Congress.' This not only signifies immediate electoral support but showcases the ongoing commitment to progressive values and representation.
The term 'frontliners' refers to 29 Democrats representing some of the nation's most competitive districts. These members, many of whom won in districts that supported former President Donald Trump in 2020, are essential to maintaining a Democratic majority.
The event hosted at Agua 301 featured influential Democratic lawmakers rising to rally for vulnerable members, emphasizing the crucial nature of fundraising efforts as these congressional elections approach.
Among the key frontliners are LGBTQ+ members of Congress. Their participation highlights the intersectionality of social justice movements and political campaigning, stressing that diversity remains a priority for Democratic candidates.
