Capital Stonewall Democrats

The District's LGBTQ+ Democrats, organized.

We endorse candidates, show up where LGBTQ+ Washingtonians need us, and hold the people we elect to their promises.

Our candidate forums are open to everyone. Members ask the questions, hear the answers, and vote the endorsement afterward.

How we work

Three ways into the fight

Educate

Candidate forums, questionnaires, and ballot guides that make every race legible, so LGBTQ+ voters walk in knowing exactly who stands where.

See the ballot guide

Advocate

We speak up for LGBTQ+ Washingtonians where decisions get made: alongside coalition partners, in public comment, and with the officials we helped elect.

Where we stand

Organize

Doors knocked, neighbors served. We turn out for endorsed candidates and lend hands to the nonprofits doing the work year-round.
