[Eric Swalwell for Congress]( {NAME}, I’m calling BS on the GOP’s manufactured hysteria over trans kids. On the House Oversight Committee, I tore into an ex-Trump official after she attempted to bring bogus attacks on trans kids into a hearing on clean energy. Yes, clean energy. What do trans kids have to do with a committee hearing on energy? Nothing. But whether it’s on the Oversight Committee, Budget Committee, or any other subcommittee, Republicans continue to obsess over trans children in every single conversation – using them as a political boogeyman to mobilize far-right extremists behind their hateful agenda. This Pride Month, me and Eric Swalwell are going toe-to-toe with MAGA extremists hellbent on eradicating queer youth and the LGBTQ+ community. In the face of increasingly personal and violent attacks, we will not back down – but we need your support.

While I will continue to speak loudly and proudly against the bigoted rhetoric and lies being hurled at the LGBTQ+ community – during Pride Month, no less – I cannot do it alone. Now more than ever, I’m counting on the grassroots support of LGBTQ+ Americans, allies, and progressives everywhere to stand with Eric Swalwell and me in this fight.
