Joe Vogel is one of our next great gay political stars & he just raked up two huge endorsements
the Washington Blade reports. They join the Equality PAC, which endorsed Vogel earlier this month.“In Maryland, state Del. Joe Vogel has a strong track record of standing up for our community and will make sure this swing seat elects someone who will fight for equality,” said Torres and Takano in a press release. “As we speak, our community is facing an unprecedented level of attacks, targeting trans people, children, and families.
Making sure we have representation in Congress is a critical component to protecting these vulnerable communities.”Vogel, 26, was born in Uruguay and immigrated to Maryland when he was three years old.
One of the youngest members of Maryland’s House of Delegates, he’s introduced more than 75 bills, including a measure to establish a commission on hate crime response and prevention.
Gov. Wes Moore signed that bill into law in May.A post shared by Joe Vogel (@joevogelmaryland)A post shared by Joe Vogel (@joevogelmaryland)A post shared by Joe Vogel (@joevogelmaryland)In addition to being LGBTQ+, Vogel would make history as Maryland’s first Latino congressman.
