As a transwoman that suffered immensely due to social stigma and past/current exclusionary federal and state policies which led to discrimination and exclusion in the workplace for LGBTQ+ people, you have my personal commitment to work towards national change by attacking unfair legislation and creating opportunities for those previously discriminated against based on gender identity and sexual orientation. I am a proud Teamster that looks forward to joining hands with my brothers and sisters to bring diversity and inclusiveness into the workplace.”
