Dexter Joins Congressional Equality Caucus
WASHINGTON, DC — Today, Congresswoman Maxine Dexter, M.D. (OR-03) released the following statement announcing she is joining the Congressional Equality Caucus for the 119th Congress:
“I’m proud to join the Congressional Equality Caucus and send a clear message to LGBTQI+ Oregonians: you are seen, you are valued, and I will fight every day to defend your right to live and love freely.
“Republicans have continually relied on cruel, anti-LGBTQI+ fear mongering tactics to keep the national conversation away from their inability to deliver results for the American people. Oregonians won’t be fooled—we see this for what it is: a desperate, fear-driven agenda pushed by extremists.
“I refuse to let hate win. In Congress, I will stand strong against every effort to roll back the hard-fought rights of LGBTQI+ Americans.”
