The LGBTQ+ Victory Fund welcomed former Chicago Mayor Lori E. Lightfoot to its Board of Directors. LGBTQ+ Victory Fund is the only national organization dedicated to electing LGBTQ+ leaders to public office. Before this new responsibility, Lightfoot was Chicago’s first lesbian mayor, serving from May 2019 to May 2023. LGBTQ+ Victory Fund supported her initial run for mayor and her failed re-election bid. She served as senior equity partner in the Litigation and Conflict Resolution Group at Mayer Brown and was President of the Chicago Police Board and Chair of the Police Accountability Task Force, among other prominent roles in the city. As a member of the board of directors of LGBTQ+ Victory Fund, she will oversee operations and guide its mission along with members like Mayor Parker and Board Chair Wade Rakes. #Queer Up Politics
