WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Rob Menendez’s campaign for re-election has been endorsed by the Human Rights Campaign – America’s largest LGBTQ+ advocacy group, with over 3 million members and supporters nationwide.
“The American people deserve leaders committed to ensuring that everyone is treated with the dignity and respect they deserve and has what they need in order to thrive,” said Human Rights Campaign Director, National Campaigns Reg Calcagno. “Congressman Menendez is one of those leaders. He has, and will continue to be, a champion for a future with full equality for all. We are proud to endorse Congressman Rob Menendez in his re-election bid and look forward to mobilizing New Jersey Equality Voters to turn out for him at the polls.”
“Every single person should be empowered to express their full selves and live authentically,” said Congressman Rob Menendez. “I will always be a strong ally and friend for our LGBTQ+ communities. And I am proud to be an original co-sponsor of the Equality Act in the 118th Congress, which would amend the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to extend non-discrimination protections for LGBTQ+ individuals. We must come together to support our communities, protect our hard-fought victories, and ensure that no one faces intolerance simply for being who they are. I am honored to be endorsed for re-election by the Human Rights Campaign and look forward to continued collaboration in our struggle to achieve real equality for all.”
