About 55 supporters turned out Aug. 14 to Brian Sims’ campaign headquarters for a fundraising event for Victory Fund, which works to elect openly LGBT candidates. Among the guests were Sims (from right), who is set to become Pennsylvania’s first out state lawmaker in November; VF board member Harvey Hurdle; VF-endorsed candidate Chris Dietz, who is running for the 104th District seat in the Pennsylvania House; former VF-endorsed Philadelphia City Council candidate Sherrie Cohen; VF development director Tim Meinke; and VF board relations associate Derek Jansante. The event raised more than $15,170. Photo: Scott Drake
