LPAC responded today to news that Texas Democratic Sen. Colin Allred, who is running to unseat Republican Senator Sen. Ted Cruz, used anti-trans language in a recent ad to attack Cruz, furthering harmful misinformation about transgender kids who play sports.

“Texans - and all Americans - deserve elected officials who care about the wellbeing of all of our kids,” said Janelle Perez, Executive Director of LPAC. “That means not demonizing transgender kids who simply want to be who they are and play sports with their friends, or making it harder for all kids to play sports without invasive policies. LPAC is grateful for our endorsed candidates like Lauren Ashley Simmons who support the rights of all LGBTQ+ Texans to live free from discrimination.”
