Survey of 2024 Senate campaign websites: on Civil Rights

Sam Brown: Cancel culture must not be encouraged by elected leaders

Cancel culture is a destructive tactic used by the extreme left to stifle dissent and intimidate free thought--and it goes against the most fundamental American values. It's usually driven by a few loud individuals within a small segment of extremists looking to divide our national discourse. This harmful social habit must not be encouraged or utilized by any elected leader. Source: 2024 Nevada Senate campaign website CaptainSamBrown.com Aug 21, 2023

Marc Carmichael: Believes racism is still a cancer on the United States

Marc Carmichael: Stand up for LGBTQ youth being used as political pawns

Will stand up for the LGBTQ youth who are being used as political pawns by mean-spirited, calculating Republicans who needed a new social wedge issue after Roe v Wade was overturned by the Republican Supreme Court majority. These vulnerable children deserve our help, not scorn, and their healthcare decisions should be left up to their families and compassionate, qualified doctors, not political opportunists.

Mike Katz: Shepherded a Delaware bill legalizing LGBTQ civil unions

She will strongly oppose Republican efforts to undermine equality and promote discrimination including the recent wave of anti-trans legislation in some Republican led legislatures.

Hung Cao: Racism is racism, no matter what else you call it

The hyper-focus on race and gender is destroying years of work that ensured equal opportunity for all Americans regardless of race, sex, and religion. Diversity of thought and experience, not racial quotas, are the foundations for success and should be the priority for every business that seeks to push innovation and develop new technologies. Racism is racism, no matter what else you call it. Prioritizing one race over another is racism, and everybody knows it. Source: 2024 Virginia Senate campaign website HungForVA.com Jun 20, 2024

Ty Pinkins: Wholeheartedly support ensuring equal rights for LGBTQ+

I wholeheartedly support legislation that ensures equal rights for members of the LGBTQ+ community in employment, housing, education, and public services. Every individual, regardless of their sexual orientation, gender identity, or expression, deserves the same rights and protections as any other citizen. When we allow discrimination against any group, we undermine the very values of justice, freedom, and equality for all. Source: 2024 Mississippi Senate campaign website TyPinkins.com Jun 26, 2024

Dan Osborn: People's private lives are no business but their own

I oppose discrimination for any reason and think people's private lives are no business but their own.

John Deaton: Enshrine equal marriage in law

LGBTQ Rights: One of the great policy failures of the 21st century was overreliance on Roe to protect women's access to abortion. Similarly, LGBTQ families in many states are only recognized legally because of the 2015 Obergefell decision by the Supreme Court. It is the responsibility of Congress and the Senate to enshrine the right to equal marriage under the law, and I promise to introduce that legislation in my first year in office.

Valerie McCray: Will fight against efforts to revoke marriage equality

All Americans should have the right to be themselves and marry who they want without the government stepping in to tell them if they can or not. I will proudly fight against measures that aim to criminalize and punish members of the LGBTQIA+ community. I will support the right for all Americans to marry who they want regardless of their gender and will fight against efforts to revoke marriage equality.
