Hi John,
As the first out gay person to run for Congress in WA’s 6th
District, LGBTQ+ history month is personal to me.
Will you support my campaign to become the first gay person and
first woman to represent this district in its entire history? (

It’s amazing how much attitudes have changed since I was in high
school, when a majority of Americans did not support gay
marriage. Now 70% of Americans do, including 55% of Republicans.
Unfortunately, there is still a lot of work to do, especially for
trans people, whose rights are under attack from Republicans
across the country. According to the Transgender Law Center, the
U.S. ranks third in the world for trans homicides, after Brazil
and Mexico, and trans women of color are particularly targeted.
In Congress, I will fight for the Equality Act to recognize the
legitimacy of trans people’s genders, to ban conversion therapy,
to ban the gay/trans panic murder excuse, and to pass Rep. Ayanna
Pressley’s amendment to the Violence Against Women Act ensuring
that trans women receive support after surviving violence.
Trans rights are human rights, and I will always fight to protect
the trans community.
If you can, please chip into my campaign now, so I can fight for
the whole LGBTQ+ community in Congress:
