Human Rights Campaign Endorses Dr. Cameron Webb for VA-05
Charlottesville, VA — Today, the Human Rights Campaign, the largest civil rights organization working to achieve equality for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer Americans, endorsed Dr. Cameron Webb for the Virginia 5th District congressional seat.
In their
endorsement the Human Rights Campaign emphasized the importance of electing leaders who will fight for equality this cycle: “We must reelect and expand the pro-equality majority in Congress to achieve real and lasting change for LGBTQ people,” said Alphonso David, president of the Human Rights Campaign. “The candidates endorsed today are proof that the battleground for the majority is expanding, and LGBTQ equality is a winning issue in every corner of the country. Over the coming months, we will utilize every opportunity and every resource to elect these candidates and ensure we make history once again in 2021 by finally enacting the Equality Act.”
“I am honored to be endorsed by the Human Rights Campaign. HRC stands as a pillar of the ongoing fight for civil rights, and I am proud to have their support for our campaign” said Dr. Cameron Webb. “As a doctor and educator, I have seen first-hand the devastating effects of discrimination and inequity in our society. With the Human Rights Campaign’s support, I look forward to taking the fight for a more equal and just America to the halls of Congress.”
The Human Rights Campaign’s endorsement is a powerful addition to the Webb campaign’s broad and growing
coalition of supporters from across Virginia and the country.
