LPAC Featured in LGBTQ Nation
LGBTQ Nation recently published a piece about a transphobic attack against LPAC-endorsed candidate Sylvia Swayne, running in the special election to fill a vacant seat in the Alabama House of Representatives. If elected, Swayne would be the first out trans person elected in the state.
From the piece:
LPAC, a national organization dedicated to electing LGBTQ+ women and nonbinary people to local, state, and federal office… released [a] statement condemning the flyer.
“LPAC unequivocally denounces the transphobic attack featured in this illegal piece of literature dropped at voters’ doors by supporters of Sylvia Swayne’s opponent,” Lisa Turner, Executive Director of LPAC said in a statement. “There is no place in campaign discourse for hateful attacks that put the safety of a candidate at risk. We call on Travis Hendrix to publicly renounce this attack and on the state of Alabama to investigate this illegal dark money assault. We stand with Sylvia Swayne as she continues to put voters first and focus on solutions for her community, not personal attacks.”
