“Our government became more representative and our democracy became stronger,” Wolfe said. “As we near the 30th anniversary of the death of Harvey Milk, it's enormously gratifying to see this dream realized in so many brave men and women heeding the call to run for office, and doing so openly, honestly and unafraid.”
