Hi John,
Dr. Rachel Levine, Pennsylvania's former Health Secretary, made us all proud when she was confirmed to serve as Biden's Assistant Health Secretary, becoming the first openly transgender federal official to be confirmed by the U.S. Senate -- now she's being target by Marjorie Taylor Greene.
Dr. Levine has been a fearless leader for Pennsylvanians and Americans nationwide, but after posting a video promising Americans that she would continue to “support policy initiatives to improve Americans' physical and mental well-being,” she was met with a transphobic attack from Greene.
Greene immediately took to Twitter to tell Dr. Levine: “I'm not seeing mental or physical health here.”
This isn't the first time Congresswoman Greene has used her position of power to attack the transgender community -- and I know it won't be the last. Today, I want to show Greene that the people of Pennsylvania will continue to condemn bigotry when they see it and support the woman who is proudly representing us in this administration. John, please let me know:
Do you stand with Dr. Rachel Levine?
I truly value your input. It's important to me that every American, especially those who dedicate their lives to public service, feels welcomed and heard in Congress.
Thank you for helping me show Marjorie Taylor Greene where Americans' values lie.
Best,
Mary Gay
