Assemblymember Chris Ward (D-San Diego) released the following statement on being elected as Vice Chair of the California Legislative LGBTQ+ Caucus:
“I am honored to be chosen as the next Vice Chair of California Legislative LGBTQ Caucus. At a time when transgender and LGBTQ+ rights are openly being attacked and erased across the country, I am committed to working with our colleagues across the state to protect equality and guarantee that California remains a safe place for those seeking care or refuge from harm. As Vice Chair, I will continue to look for areas where we can work together to protect gay and trans youth and ensure they have support so they don’t feel isolated.”
