John,
Yesterday, President Joe Biden announced he would not continue seeking reelection. During his time in office, President Biden led the most progressive and inclusive presidential term in American history, ensuring LGBTQ+ voices were heard at all levels of the federal and judicial branches.
And, despite attacks on LGBTQ+ liberties in state governments nationwide, the Biden administration has reinforced its dedication to LGBTQ+ equality through action. President Biden made it clear that LGBTQ+ people had a staunch ally in the Oval Office, and he put his words into action. His appointees and legislation reflected the full diversity of our community, leading us to a more representative democracy.
Under President Biden, LGBTQ+ people have received a record number of federal appointments, including cabinet members, judges, and around 14% of the administration. He appointed Pete Buttigieg as first out Senate-appointed Cabinet secretary in U.S. history, as well as Dr. Rachel Levine as the first out transgender person to hold an office that requires Senate confirmation. And the impact of those LGBTQ+ voices was deeply felt. His dedication to supporting LGBTQ+ communities and championing pro-equality legislation and executive action has created the most inclusive and affirming administration our country has ever seen.
We are sincerely grateful for President Biden's leadership, partnership, and service to our nation. Together, we continue forward.
Onward,
Mayor Annise Parker
