Democrat Eric Swalwell represents California's 14th Congressional District. 

Friends,

I’m calling BS on the GOP’s manufactured hysteria over trans kids.

On the House Oversight Committee, I tore into an ex-Trump official after she attempted to bring bogus attacks on trans kids into a hearing on clean energy. Yes, clean energy.

What do trans kids have to do with a committee hearing on energy? Nothing. But whether it’s on the Oversight Committee, Budget Committee, or any other subcommittee, Republicans continue to obsess over trans children in every single conversation – using them as a political boogeyman to mobilize far-right extremists behind their hateful agenda.

This Pride Month, me and Eric Swalwell are going toe-to-toe with MAGA extremists hellbent on eradicating queer youth and the LGBTQ+ community. In the face of increasingly personal and violent attacks, we will not back down – but we need your support. Please watch my latest exchange on the House Oversight Committee, and then pitch in a split donation to support me and Eric Swalwell as we fight to defend trans kids in Congress.

I am the first woman and openly-LGBTQ+ person serving Vermont in Congress and one of only 11 openly-LGBTQ+ legislators in the House of Representatives.

While I will continue to speak loudly and proudly against the bigoted rhetoric and lies being hurled at the LGBTQ+ community – during Pride Month, no less – I cannot do it alone.
