Gina Ortiz Jones The National Republican Congressional Committee began airing transphobic ads against Gina Ortiz Jones, who is running for a vacant seat in a district that runs from El Paso to San Antonio.
Jones is lesbian. She’s also a veteran. The ad says Jones wants to close military bases, risking security and jobs. And what does the ad accuse her of saving all this money for?
She wants the military to pay for gender reassignment surgery. According to newly released studies done by Human Rights Campaign, 88 percent of likely Texas voters support transgender people having equal access to medical care as every other Texan and 75 percent believe transgender people should be able to live freely and openly.
