Washington, DC – The Board of Equality PAC, a political action committee formed by leaders of the Congressional LGBT Equality Caucus, announced today their endorsement of Dr. Matt Heinz to be the next Congressman to represent the Arizona 2nd Congressional District.
“Caring for others is what Dr. Matt Heinz has dedicated his life to,” said Equality PAC Co-Chair Rep. Jared Polis (D-CO). “I am happy to be able to support him for Congress, as the next Representative from Arizona who will be a fierce defender of civil rights of all Americans. I am confident he will bring that same dedication to work hard for our country, to expand opportunity for all.”
“I couldn’t be happier about the endorsement of the leaders of the Congressional LGBT Equality Caucus,” said Dr. Matt Heinz. “Although marriage equality in all 50 states represents great progress, there is still so much we need to do. As a gay man this is deeply personal to me and I will always be a passionate warrior for full and true equality.”
