The electoral college is an antiquated system. But it's more than just inconvenient – it's impeding upon voter representation.

The last two Republican presidents have been elected after losing the popular vote. Trump received only 46% of the vote, and yet, because of the Electoral College structure, he's now president.

It's time to ensure the candidate who received the most votes is actually elected. Wild idea, huh?

I was so incredibly honored to speak at the Central Massachusetts Worcester Pride rally this weekend.

We have worked too damn hard to earn our civil rights and liberty to stop fighting or stand by as Trump-sanctioned hatred drives policy.

Massachusetts has a petition on the ballot this November that will roll back transgender protection. We cannot let that happen. We must do more than just push back. We must fight back. We must get out there and vote.

Great news! The Human Rights Campaign (HRC) has endorsed my candidacy. HRC is the nation's largest LGBTQ+ civil rights organization and their work has been vital to turning out pro-equality voters.

I've worked closely with the HRC to end discrimination, defend marriage equality, and uphold laws protecting the LGBTQ+ community.

As allies, it is critical that we keep a check on agendas of hate and bigotry.
