Congratulations to Assemblyman Steve Bradford!

Steve Bradford was elected to the California Assembly on Tuesday September 1st, representing the 51st District. Bradford is an African American champion of LGBT rights, and replaces Curren Price, who was elected to the State Senate (26th District) in a special election on May 19th.

Both Bradford and Price opposed Proposition 8 and support full marriage equality for same-sex couples. We look forward to working with Assemblymember Bradford and State Senator Price to educate and inform them of the needs of their Black LGBT constituents.

It is important that we congratulate African American leaders who stick to their principles of  believing in equality for all even when they get flack from their political opponents for  their positions.
