John,

Today is a special day for me.

It’s my 18th wedding anniversary, a day that I will never forget. I got to marry the love of my life surrounded by my family and friends. I wanted to share a few photos with you all from that day:

When Elizabeth and I were married I had no idea the life that we would create in Vermont.

Our marriage was not a political statement, but as I look back I can’t help but think how far we’ve come. When we first got married, we had to have the Justice of the Peace perform a civil union because civil marriage for same-sex couples was not yet legal in Vermont.

Having a civil union rather than a civil marriage didn’t dampen our joy that day, but it did feel like we were being asked to be content with second class status. That never sat right with me. And ultimately, my belief that every American deserves dignity and respect, no matter who they love or how they identify, is what drove me to run for public office.

As we work to make progress into the future, treating others with kindness, dignity, and respect will always lead us in the right direction.

With love,

Becca Balint
