Evan Low, a former California Assembly member and congressional candidate, has been named president and CEO of the LGBTQ+ Victory Fund and LGBTQ+ Victory Institute. He succeeds Annise Parker, who led the organization since 2017. Low emphasized the urgent need for the LGBTQ+ community to have their voices amplified amid ongoing exclusionary legislation. The Victory Fund focuses on electing out candidates, while the Victory Institute offers training for public officials. Low's extensive political background gives confidence in his ability to drive LGBTQ+ representation and success in politics.
"Today, we face an existential crisis. The LGBTQ+ community, along with other historically excluded communities, are being systematically legislated out of existence. I am committed to ensuring our voices are not just included but impossible to ignore - and represented at the highest levels of office."
"With his extensive background in politics, we are confident that Low will achieve both missions - helping to elect more LGBTQ+ leaders and ensuring they have the tools to serve successfully."
"We've long been inspired by Evan's commitment, service, and focus on his constituents and the LGBTQ+ population... at this critical time in our history and movement, we are proud to welcome Evan as the next leader of Victory."
