BIGGS' VOTE AGAINST CORONAVIRUS FUNDING IS HATE SPEECH
Democratic Candidate Urges Incumbent to Vote for Critical
Health/Financial Protections
PHOENIX (March 20, 2020) - Once again, Andy Biggs' animosity toward
the LGBTQ community is being illustrated in his public policy, and it is
endangering the lives of all Arizonans. Joan Greene, Democratic
candidate for Arizona's 5th Congressional District (CD5), is urging
Biggs to vote for future bipartisan legislation that would provide
funding for coronavirus testing, treatment and other urgently needed
support for Arizona residents and small businesses.
To date, Biggs has voted no on all coronavirus funding packages. In a
radio interview produced by the conservative Christian Group, The Family
Research Council (FRC), Biggs explained that he voted no on the
legislation because it included provisions for domestic partnerships,
including same-sex relationships. The Southern Poverty Law Center has
designated FRC as a hate group.
"Biggs voted against urgently needed funding to fight the coronavirus
pandemic and help Arizonans in need because the legislation provided
protections for those in domestic partnerships," said Greene. "What he
doesn't seem to understand is that his hatred is not just impacting
LGBTQ Arizonans, but many others like senior citizens who, for many
reasons, are in a domestic partnership. His actions and votes have
consequences beyond his intended victims."
"He should be representing and protecting all Arizonans, not just those
he agrees with politically," Greene added.
P.S. Help us make sure Joan is on the ballot in November.
