March 25th, 2021

Alexandria, VA – Today, Alexandria City Council candidate, James Lewis, announced the endorsement of the LGBTQ Victory Fund.

“Through his service on the Alexandria Traffic and Parking Board, James has proven his willingness to listen to residents and work with them, staff and others to ensure safety and access. This block-by-block experience is the kind of leadership cities need to solve big problems,” said Mayor Annise Parker, President and CEO of the LGBTQ Victory Fund. “As a former local leader, I know the importance of municipal leaders who listen to and represent the community they serve.”

For more than 28 years, the LGBTQ Victory Fund has endorsed and supported thousands of LGTBQ candidates that have changed the face and voice of American politics for the better.

“I’m thrilled and humbled by the support of the LGBTQ Victory Fund. I came up in politics as Victory Fund was really changing the landscape of politics for LGBTQ candidates and families. In addition to fighting for marriage equality, Victory Fund showed a young bi kid that people like me could run and win election to public office,” said James Lewis. “As I run to serve the people of Alexandria, it’s truly humbly to have the support of an organization that I’ve long admired.”

Other national organizations endorsing Lewis include 314 Action Fund and Run for Something.
