Equality PAC Endorses Misty Plowright (CO-05)
Washington, DC – Equality PAC, a political action committee formed by leaders of the Congressional LGBT Equality Caucus, announced today its endorsement of Misty Plowright to be elected to represent Colorado’s 5th Congressional District. Plowright made history in June by becoming the first transgender person to ever become a major party nominee for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives.
“As a fellow Coloradan, I am proud to announce Equality PAC’s endorsement of Misty Plowright,” said Equality PAC CoChair Rep. Jared Polis (CO-02). “Misty’s historic campaign is based on the values of fairness, justice, and equality; values that are right at home in Colorado. Misty will be a champion of the LGBT community in Congress and I look forward to working with her when she’s elected.”
“As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I know firsthand the discrimination and struggles we face,” said Misty Plowright. “In Congress, I will fight to ensure that all Americans receive the great promise of our Constitution of freedom and equality under the law. Each generation moves us one step closer to realizing these lofty ideals, and I am proud to be a part of that effort.”
