A national LGBT organization is endorsing Lee Storrow in his re-election campaign for the Chapel Hill Town Council.

The Gay and Lesbian Victory Fund called Storrow a “dynamic, young leader who has a track record of standing up for policies that promote diversity.”

In a prepared statement, Storrow said, “given the recent passage of Senate Bill 2 by the North Carolina General Assembly, it is more important than ever that we elect openly-gay and pro-equality candidates to public office.”

Storrow announced in March that he would be running for re-election this fall.

He was first elected to the Town Council in 2011.
