El Paso elects gay woman to legislature
Voters in El Paso, TX have elected Mary E. Gonzalez, an openly gay woman, to the Texas House of Representatives.
Gonzalez is only the second LGBT person to serve in the Texas legislature, and her appointment shrinks the number of states with no openly LGBT lawmakers to 17. She will also have no Republican opponent in the general election.
“This is a big victory for Mary, for El Paso and for Texas,” said Chuck Wolfe, president and CEO of the Victory Fund, which endorsed Gonzalez and supported her campaign. “The people of El Paso will be represented by a talented and committed fighter who knows how to get things done in Austin. And LGBT Texans will be represented by an authentic voice in the Capitol, standing up and speaking out for fairness and freedom for all.”
Woohoo! Congratulations!
oh my, im from El Paso!! :D
