The GSD endorsement is based upon our assessment of returned candidate questionnaires and a review of the candidate’s history of working within and on behalf of the LGBTQ+ community, allied organizations, and progressive causes.
We do not issue ratings for every survey submitted. Our final endorsement selections are not to be construed as a slight to any candidate who took the time to communicate their issue positions to us. Georgia Stonewall Democrats can only consider endorsement for candidates who apply. No inference should be made for democratic candidates not listed.

Georgia Stonewall Democrats is Georgia’s lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and ally Democratic community. As LGBTQ+ and ally Democrats, we have a unique and critically important role to play in our community’s struggle for equality.

We are working to make progress within our Party on issues important to our community, to inform the LGBTQ+ community about the differences between the political Parties, and to elect fair-minded Democrats to public office.
