The 2022 election is shaping up to be a historic fight for civil rights.

On one side, we have a party that largely is trying to strip them away – from safe and legal access to abortion to marriage equality, to everything in between.

The other side? Well, that would be us: people committed to protecting freedoms for all.

Just this week I was proud to join my colleagues in the House in voting for the bipartisan Respect for Marriage Act to enshrine marriage equality for all and prohibit discrimination against same-sex and interracial couples.

I am honored to be endorsed in this fight by the Human Rights Campaign PAC, who have been on the front lines of this fight for years.

It is both my privilege and my duty to stand with the Human Rights Campaign – today, tomorrow, and every day going forward, protecting the rights and freedoms of people who are facing near-constant attack.

Because that is the oath I swore in Congress: to defend our country and its people. I take that oath seriously.

P.S. If you are able, I would be honored to have your support as we keep up this fight through November and beyond.
