The presidential endorsement went to Hillary Clinton.

In the race for State Senator District 26, Stonewall endorsed incumbent Jose Menendez who is being challenged by former State Rep. Trey Martinez Fisher.

The endorsement for State Representative, District 116, went to Martin Golando who is running against Bexar County Democratic Party secretary Diane Arevalo and former LGBT Chamber of Commerce president and business owner Ruby Resendez.
