UNPRECEDENTED RESULTS For more than two years, HRC carefully laid the groundwork for the largest mobilization effort ever to ensure that the 2012 general election would be a year of milestone victories for equality. The victories were hard-fought and won, nationally and locally. Barack Obama, the most pro-equality president ever, was re-elected “Allyin-Chief.” Tammy Baldwin became the first openly gay politician — and first Wisconsin woman — elected to the Senate. And a record number of openly LGBT members and allies were elected to Congress.
YOUR SUPPORT DROVE THESE HUGE VICTORIES More than $8 MILLION strategically invested. Another $1.4 MILLION for HRC-endorsed candidates of both parties. Nearly 22 MILLION electionrelated emails. Cross country “Get Out the Vote” tour culminates in telephone town hall with 55,000 members and supporters.
