I read with interest the article published in the Washington Blade stating that the Republican candidate for Delaware’s 14th Representative District supports LGBTQ rights and specifically “legislation protecting transgender people.” I am glad that this lifelong Delawarean and resident of the legislative district with the largest number of LGBTQ people in Delaware is in support of our community.
I do not question what is in his heart. I also do not care what is in his heart or the heart of any person seeking or serving in elective office.
I care only about what they have done before they decided to seek public office, and what they do once in office. I served on the board of Delaware Stonewall Democrats and its successor Delaware Stonewall PAC from 2006 to 2021.
During that period, I served as either political vice president or president. I was heavily involved with the passage of all LGBTQ legislation in Delaware.
