Issue Position: Civil Rights

Issue Position

In Massachusetts we have a proud history of standing up for each other's rights. Our state Constitution and Declaration of Rights afford us greater rights than citizens of most or all of the other 49 states. We welcome diversity of race, religion, country of origin, gender, sexual preference, gender identity, age, and disability while recognizing that equal opportunity produces the best results for all of us. I promise to continue this tradition by supporting:

- A woman's right to make her own reproductive choices

- Equal pay for equal work

- Equal rights for the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender (LGBT) community

- The rights of individuals with disabilities
