From a verified voter in Stevensville, MIPass Legislation to Protect LGBTQ+ Rights in Our State
LGBTQ+ people in our state need real protections, and I expect you to deliver them. That means passing legislation that shields medical records from out-of-state actors who would weaponize them against people seeking gender-affirming care, requires insurers to cover hormone therapy so cost isn't a b

New York City just committed $15 million to protect transgender youth healthcare access, and our state needs to do the same. While the Trump administration pressures hospitals to abandon trans kids — and institutions like NYU Langone and Mt. Sinai have already shut down their youth gender programs —
From a verified voter in Stevensville, MIStop Anti-LGBTQ+ Platform Planks From Becoming Law
You must stop these policies from becoming law. Across the country, state Republican parties are adopting platform planks that would ban transgender people from teaching, criminalize parents of trans children, strip legal adults aged 18–25 of access to medical and mental health care, and allow busin
From a verified voter in Stevensville, MIProtect Transgender Residents: Allow Accurate Gender Markers on State IDs
Laws that force transgender residents to carry IDs that don't match their appearance don't protect anyone — they create real danger. When someone's ID contradicts how they look, every routine traffic stop becomes an interrogation. That's not a hypothetical. In Kansas, a transgender woman who complie
From a verified voter in Stevensville, MIOppose Discriminatory Ballot Measures Targeting Minority Rights
Use your platform to speak out against ballot measures that strip rights from minority communities — and push back on the broader strategy of using direct democracy to do what legislatures won't. Civil rights don't belong on a ballot. The moment a simple majority can vote away protections for any gr
From a verified voter in Stevensville, MIStand Vocally for LGBTQ+ Rights — The Politics Back It Up
Speak up for LGBTQ+ people — loudly and without apology. A new Data for Progress poll shows 51% of likely voters prefer a candidate who vocally supports LGBTQ+ rights, compared to just 32% who prefer one who opposes them. That includes 54% of independents. The politics here are not complicated. The

Shut down the North Lake Processing Center and end Michigan's relationship with GEO Group. Locking people up for profit is not a public safety strategy — it's a revenue model, and Michigan taxpayers shouldn't be funding it. GEO Group is a for-profit corporation that profits directly from keeping de
From a verified voter in Stevensville, MISupport Trans and Nonbinary Representation in Advisory Roles
Stand behind the appointment of trans and nonbinary leaders to LGBTQ+ advisory boards and policy roles. When right-wing media frames basic advocacy work as extremism, that's a scare tactic — and it shouldn't dictate who gets a seat at the table. Trans and nonbinary people bring lived experience tha
From a verified voter in Stevensville, MIRepeal Anti-Transgender Bathroom Laws
Work toward the full repeal of laws that criminalize transgender people's use of public restrooms. These laws were never about safety or privacy — they are about making transgender people unwelcome in public life, the same logic that once kept Black Americans out of public spaces. Courts across the

New York City just showed every state leader exactly what it looks like to show up for LGBTQ+ constituents — and I want to see you follow that lead. Mayor Mamdani created the city's first Office of LGBTQIA+ Affairs, earmarked $15 million for gender-affirming health care, and is opening a city-run tr

Murry Foust, a 22-year-old transgender art student at Northern Kentucky University, was found dead on May 24, 2025, after nearly a month of searching. He was two weeks from graduation. His death is a devastating reminder that transgender people — kids and adults — remain vulnerable, and I need you t
