Add this share Raphael Warnock is assembling an advisory council of two-dozen LGBTQ elected officials, activists and grassroots organizers to help carry his U.S. Senate campaign “over the finish line” in the Jan. 5 runoff. Warnock announced the Out for Warnock LGBTQ+ Advisory Council on Friday, the latest move from a campaign that is embracing LGBTQ equality issues as part of its effort to unseat U.S. Sen. Kelly Loeffler. “The future of LGBTQ rights is on the ballot for this election. That is why bringing together so many hardworking LGBTQ+ Georgians to carry us over the finish line was a vital part of our campaign strategy,” Warnock said in a prepared statement.
