Moore v. Harper
The fringe theory put forward in Moore v. Harper is a threat to the fundamental promise of our democracy—that every voter is entitled to justice under the law. I listened to oral arguments yesterday at the Supreme Court and know that our democracy is worth fighting for.
Defense of Marriage Act
Today, we worked across party lines to uphold marriage equality under federal law and finally repeal the unconstitutional Defense of Marriage Act. This is an historic step forward, but we still have a lot of work to do to protect the LGBTQ+ community in NC. www.nytimes.com/2022/12/08/us/politics/same-sex-marriage-congress.html

You can visit the NC Museum of History on Wednesday to see original copies the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights. https://www.newsobserver.com/news/politics-government/article269515172.html
Respect for Marriage Act
This week, the Senate took an historic step forward in passing the Respect for Marriage Act. Next week, we will pass this legislation in the House and finally recognize in federal law marriage equality for same-sex and interracial couples. #LoveisLove www.nytimes.com/2022/11/29/us/politics/same-sex-marriage-bill-senate.html
