In a historic first, voters in all 50 states will see an openly LGBTQ candidate this election.
Tom Temprano, the political director for Equality California, says it's a tangible significance for the LGBTQ+ community."It does it does matter. It does feel really tangible," he told KPIX 5."I think there's reasons for optimism but I think a lot of us are really concerned and are voting like we're concerned."
"Without the action of LGBTQ elected officials, I don't think we would have gotten doses into arms. I think we would have had an outbreak that was significantly larger than it was," he said."But having queer people at the table and in positions of power to advocate for the community in ways that frankly oftentimes only elected officials can do, I think changed their trajectory and saved a lot of people not only, you know, hospital time, but potentially their lives.
"To have so many queer people on so many ballots across the country on ballots in every single state is really remarkable," said Temprano."In San Francisco again, we're really at the forefront of achieving that sort of representation and it still feels special here."
