Committed to fighting for marriage equality & LGBTQ rights
A lot of people know me as the person who brought marriage equality to Maryland. And I am very proud of that reputation. I stood up for the civil rights of the people of our state. These rights take many forms, and impact people in many ways. In the General Assembly, and out, I have delivered on civil rights for the people of Maryland. But I am not finished. I will never be finished. I will cede no ground on civil rights, LGBTQ rights, workers' rights, or women's rights. Source: 2018 Maryland Gubernatorial website MadalenoForMaryland.com , Aug 8, 2017
