👍🏼If you’re open to learning, I’m open to talking. I truly believe the path forward begins with listening, understanding, and connecting with those whose lived experiences may be different from our own. Let’s keep the conversation going.

💕We see you. We love you. We’re fighting alongside you for your right to live as your authentic, incredible selves.

💗As a proud parent of two LGBTQIA+ young adults—one nonbinary and one transgender—this is deeply personal for me.

I wrote to you as a constituent and asked you to protect and stand up for military connected transgender children like mine. And you were silent. And I'm completely gutted. I worked hard to make sure you were reelected and you threw my kids in the trash.

And he did not respond to constituents like me who asked him to stand up and protect military connected transgender children under age 18 so they could continue to receive lifesaving gender affirming care. I'm gutted.
