LPAC offers an endorsement to Christine Quinn for NYC mayor today:
“LPAC is supporting Quinn because she supports the policies and holds values that matter to lesbians: fairness and opportunity for everyone, commitment to equal rights and social justice,” said LPAC Chair Sarah Schmidt. “As a values-based committee, LPAC works hard to elect candidates who champion issues that impact lesbians and our families: Quinn is a supporter of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community, a defender of women's rights, and an ally for social and economic justice. LPAC is proud to support her.”
LPAC will begin fundraising for Quinn today.
“As a New Yorker, I'm excited to support Chris because I believe she has the strength, the experience and the courage to lead on behalf of all parts of this city,” said LPAC Board Member Urvashi Vaid. “Quinn is a political leader who has stood up for women, LGBT people, and social and economic justice for all New Yorkers.”
