An ally and proud supporter of the Equality Act
[Human Rights Campaign endorsement press release]: HRC and these champions for equality must work together to ensure we maintain a pro-equality majority in the U.S. House and establish one in the U.S. Senate. [The U.S. Senate's] refusal to allow
consideration of the Equality Act leaves LGBTQ people across America at risk of being fired from jobs, refused essential services like health care, and more vulnerable to violence. HRC will work to mobilize 57 million Equality Voters nationwide to turn
out this November and ensure these endorsed candidates win."With the support of the Human Rights Campaign, we turned Oklahoma's 5th District from being represented by one of the most anti-LGBTQ incumbents in the nation to now being represented by an
ally and proud supporter of the Equality Act," said Rep. Kendra Horn (OK-5). "Together, we pulled off what many pundits called the 'biggest upset in the nation,' and now thousands of Oklahoma families have a voice in DC where previously they had none."
