Congressman Mark Pocan (D. WI-02) is helping a fellow progressive and proud LGBT political figure get ready for next Tuesday's election:
When my friend, Annise Parker, was elected mayor of Houston in 2009, many people across the country were surprised that a progressive lesbian woman could win in Texas.
Not me. I knew then that Annise is an outstanding leader who has made Houston a better place to live work and raise a family.
Now Annise needs our help – and I’m writing to ask you to rush a contribution of $25 or $50 to her campaign today:

Annise is in a tough re-election battle against a multi-millionaire opponent who is spending millions to undo many of Annise’s progressive reforms.
Just this week, he announced his opposition to a commonsense bill to protect LGBT employees from job discrimination, calling it an unnecessary "extension of rights." He even said he would repeal some of the workplace protections Annise put into place during her first term.
Please make a contribution to Annise today. Progressives win when we stick together. And when we win in places like Texas, it makes our entire country stronger:

Thank you and warm regards,
Mark
