Gaithersburg, MD – The Human Rights Campaign, the nation’s largest LGBTQ+ civil rights organization, announced its endorsement of April McClain Delaney for U.S. Congress.
“I am deeply honored to receive the endorsement of the Human Rights Campaign,” said April McClain Delaney. “At a time when the fundamental freedoms of LGBTQ+ individuals are under attack, it is more important than ever to stand up and defend the rights of every American. In Congress, I will work tirelessly to protect the freedoms of all people, ensuring that no one is denied their basic rights because of who they are or who they love.”
The endorsement comes as Maryland voters are reminded of Neil Parrott’s long-standing opposition LGBTQ+ community, and underscores the clear choice voters have in the upcoming election between a candidate who champions equality, and one who fuels discrimination.
“April McClain Delaney has devoted her career to being a force for good in her community, and that includes protecting and advancing LGBTQ+ rights. She knows what vulnerable LGBTQ+ Americans are up against and stands ready to fight against MAGA-led attacks in Congress that defy common sense and perpetuate division,” said Molly Whitehorn, Associate Regional Campaign Director at the Human Rights Campaign. “Her opponent meanwhile has made his disdain for equality clear, stigmatizing transgender youth on his campaign site and using his platform to spread anti-choice rhetoric. It’s why we’re proud to endorse April and look forward to her joining an expected pro-equality majority in the U.S. House next year. ”
