Press release from the Stonewall Democrats of Western New York endorsing Appleton
As previously announced, the Stonewall Democrats of Western New York have endorsed Cynthia Appleton for the New York State Senate from the 59th District. Here is the press release:
The Stonewall Democrats of Western New York are proud to announce our endorsement of Democrat Cynthia Appleton in the race for New York’s 59th Senate District. Cynthia is an accomplished public servant, a proud and strong advocate for justice and equality– and she will restore that integrity to the office of the 59th District when she is elected this November.
“Cynthia Appleton is a phenomenal candidate,” said SDWNY President Bryan Ball. “She is the right person for the job at this time. A true community leader, Cynthia has a strong record of accomplishment, and the right commitment to the reform we so need in Albany. And she knows that true reform and justice consist of our community’s equality– by passing the Gender Expression Non-Discrimination Act and Marriage Equality.”
Appleton is the the endorsed (and lone) Democrat in the race to represent Erie, Wyoming, Livingston and Ontario counties in the state legislature. She will face the winner of a crowded and ugly Republican primary, which will pit her record of accomplishment and commitment to equality against those of the political party that chooses again and again to deny our community our basic civil rights. Cynthia Appleton is a fantastic advocate for the LGBT community, and the LGBT community of Western New York will be there to support her candidacy and ensure our victory.
