LOS ANGELES—The David Bohnett Foundation celebrated success across the country Tuesday night as all nine of its active Victory Institute Bohnett Leadership Fellows won election to public offices.

“These women and men are some of America's top LGBT talents, proving that openly gay candidates run competitive races with strong organizations and dynamic messaging under many different electoral maps,” said philanthropist David Bohnett. “It’s an honor to support these inspiring individuals who have made a difference in our communities, our political system and our world.”
