Issue Position: Progessive Issues

Issue Position

Throughout his political and professional career Sam has maintained a core set of progressive values that have guided his decisions and actions. Access to family planning and preserving a woman's right to choose are fundamental individual rights. Sam strongly condemns the attacks on organizations that provide health and counseling services to women. Regulating women's bodies through legislation to score cheap political points is wrong. Partner benefits, second parent adoption and marriage equality are important issues to the LGBT community and the cause of social justices. Further, when families are denied access to these institutions, it affects their pocketbooks as well. In the Legislature, Sam will stand up to protect the right of a women to make her own decisions about her body and will work to overturn the laws that treat our LGBT neighbors as second class citizens.
