LGBT RIGHTS

 

My Platform: I am a proud progressive, and so support for the statewide expansion of gender-based rights, and for meaningful enforcement of existing LGBT focused housing, employment, and other anti-discrimination measures, is central to my campaign.

 

My Experience: I am the only candidate for the open seat who didn't just talk the talk but walked the walk: I campaigned hard years ago with former County Councilmember Duchy Trachtenberg and my colleague Ms. Dana Beyer to work for passage of Montgomery County's precedent setting law to provide legal protections for transgendered people; and I worked with Equality Maryland all over the state in the campaign for marriage equality.

 

I will therefore have the credibility in Annapolis to be a leader in the fight for the protection of LGBT rights.
