Trans and nonbinary candidates across parties (and, notably, in the NDP) receive substantially and significantly less money even after adjusting for not being incumbents and being nominated disproprotionately in unwinnable ridings.

When we break LGBTQ+ candidates apart by subgroups, we find some evidence of gender inequalities. Queer cis women raise less than expected for the Greens.

This isn't true for the Liberals or the NDP: LGBTQ+ candidates, if anything, do better in financing their campaigns after adjusting for other variables.

Some of this is explained by other variables/forms of disadvantage (especially incumbency, district competitiveness). However, even after adjusting for other variables, LGBTQ+ candidates for the Conservatives and Greens raise less than their straight cis counterparts.

Without adjusting for any other variables, LGBTQ+ candidates raise substantially less money than straight cis (non-LGBTQ+) candidates.

Kate initially proposed looking at finance as part of an honours thesis, and we expanded upon the analysis in our work together.
