“Cory Booker is a dedicated public servant who views equality for all people as his guiding principle. Senator Booker will be a welcome addition to Capitol Hill as we work to pass workplace protections for LGBT people, confirm qualified judicial nominations and a work on a range of other priorities for our community. Already a national leader, this new position will allow him to continue being a stalwart ally for all lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people across the country.”
