Unity Fund

As we kick off the 2026 election season, we’re energized and ready for what is shaping up to be a pivotal year. Given the current political climate, Unity Fund expects to support more LGBTQ candidates than usual across Michigan. Our mission remains simple: elect qualified LGBTQ leaders who will bring their perspectives, experiences, and commitment to public service to offices at every level of government.

At the same time, we’re watching troubling developments around the country that highlight why representation is still crucial. Recent efforts targeting LGBTQ people, including legislation in Kansas restricting identification for transgender residents and organized efforts to challenge the legal foundation of same-sex marriage, remind us that progress is not guaranteed. The most durable way to protect our community is to ensure LGBTQ voices are present where decisions are made.

Unity Fund is now accepting endorsement requests from LGBTQ candidates running for executive, legislative, and judicial offices. If you—or someone you know—is running for office, we encourage you to apply or share this opportunity.

As the cycle ramps up, your support is also critical. Please consider making a donation today, or setting up a monthly contribution to sustain our work throughout the election season.

Proudly Yours,
The Unity Fund Board of Directors

P.S.: Save the date for our first event of the year on April 25! Details will come shortly; we look forward to gathering with supporters and celebrating the momentum ahead.

Three Endorsements. Three Wins. On to 2026!

Dear Friends and Supporters,

As 2025 draws to a close, we’re reflecting with gratitude, pride, and renewed determination. This has been an extraordinary year for Unity Fund: all three of our endorsed candidates — Denzel McCampbell, Lance Boehmer, and Mike McGuiness — won their elections. Their victories underscore the impact of our mission and the power of representation.

But the work ahead is even bigger. 2026 will be one of Michigan’s most critical election years in decades. In a historic moment, a member of our own community, Jeremy Moss, is running for an open U.S. House seat. We’ve supported his wins before and are committed to helping him do it again.
We already know of six strong LGBTQ candidates running or preparing to run, and we expect that number will more than double by the April filing deadline. As the only PAC in Michigan exclusively dedicated to electing LGBTQ Michiganders, we will be ready.

Meanwhile, escalating attacks on LGBTQ+ rights — especially targeting the transgender community — make one thing painfully clear: representation is essential. Electing leaders from our own community remains the most effective way to protect and advance our rights.

As we gear up for our largest effort yet, we need your help. If you believe in a Michigan where every LGBTQ person is represented and empowered, please consider becoming a monthly sponsor or making a year-end donation. Your support will empower what will undoubtedly be the largest slate of LGBTQ candidates in our history.

Thank you for your trust and partnership. Together, we’ll keep moving Michigan forward.

In solidarity,
The Unity Fund Board of Directors
