Pro-GLBT candidate Gabby Giffords won her election for U.S. house in one of the most competitive districts in the country! Her seat had previously been held by Rep. Jim Kolbe, an openly gay moderate Republican congressman. This is another victory for fair-minded voters who rejected her opponent Randy Graf's extremism.
Said Giffords:
"I have stood up for equality in Arizona, and I am grateful that HRC and the GLBT community stood with our campaign during the primary and the general elections. We can accomplish so much for our families when we work together. Fairness is an essential American value, and when we champion fairness, we can win decisive victories in even the most competitive Congressional Districts."
