Corporate America’s LGBTQ Ally Has A 99% Democratic Endorsement Record

As Americans prepare to vote in November’s midterm elections, one of the Democratic Party’s most reliable political allies is mobilizing millions of voters and spending millions of dollars to influence the results.

That organization is the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), which also happens to maintain close ties with some of America’s largest corporations, many of which publicly affiliate with and sponsor the organization.

HRC bills itself as the nation’s largest advocacy organization dedicated to advancing LGBTQ equality. But a new analysis by 1792 Exchange reveals just how overwhelmingly partisan its political activities have become.

After examining HRC’s online archive of press releases, 1792 Exchange documented 1,408 political endorsements covering 970 unique candidates between 2010 and October 2026.

Of those 970 candidates, 964 were Democrats, two were Republicans, three were nonpartisan candidates and one was an independent.

In other words, more than 99% of the unique candidates identified in HRC’s archived endorsements were Democrats.

This record raises questions for companies that financially support HRC or affiliate with its infamous Corporate Equality Index under the banner of supporting nondiscrimination policies, particularly when they do not extend comparable affiliation with or support of conservative organizations.

And HRC’s political operation is not slowing down anytime soon.

In April, HRC announced a $15 million electoral program, dubbed “Let’s Get Free,” designed to reach 74 million so-called “Equality Voters” ahead of the midterms. The organization, which reports approximately four million members and supporters, is targeting competitive congressional races and mobilizing voters through advertisements, events and grassroots organizing.
