Issue Position: Fairness and Equal Opportunities for All People

Issue Position

The question of how our society treats people, and how the law recognizes them is ongoing and at the forefront of our court and legislative battles today. We have seen our legislature and governor waste millions of dollars on court cases fighting against unconstitutional legislation that denies equality and fairness for everyone. I serve on the State Affairs Committee that finally heard the Add the Words legislation after 9 years of activist work and civil disobedience. For nine years, the chairs of the Senate and House committees would not grant a hearing, which by process alone is unfair. Then along party lines, our citizens who are LBGT were denied basic human rights.

I am deeply concerned that my GOP colleagues continue to block the rights of others while hiding behind ideology.

We must create opportunities for all people to freely pursue their dreams and goals.
