This weekend, we published number 13 in this series (Erika Strassburger) so it is time to update once again. I’ve reached out to over 40 campaigns, 20 have replied requesting a Q&A. So we are waiting on seven to be returned.
And keeping open the door to other candidates. There are seven weeks left to reach our readers and social media followers.
Both Democratic candidates for Mayor requested a Q&A – I know most of you are waiting for those. There’s also State Representative Dan Miller who is running for Allegheny Court of Common Pleas. I am confident none of them will let me down by not returning their Q&A’s. Still every year, someone does.
That is not okay. Show up for the LGBTQ community. Make the time. No excuses.
I want to highlight the campaign of Amy Bridges, candidate for School Board in New Castle. Amy is an out trans woman. That takes guts. It sets the bar high and sets a good example. She deserves your support – read her response, like her social media, donate a few bucks, and share. Share. Share.
Take a closer look at the Steel City Stonewall Democrats questionnaires – they are phenomenal.
