  • MHAG Equality Agenda
    MARK HERRING AN EQUALITY AGENDA ark Herring believes that all Virginians deserve equal protection under the law. As Attorney General, Mark will be committed to protecting civil rights and will use the powers of the office to promote Mequality. This is particularly important because Virginia’s human rights agency is now a division of the Office of the Attorney General. Mark will take politics out of the Attorney General’s office, put the law first and pursue an “Equality Agenda” that consists of the following: 1 PROHIBITING DISCRIMINATION IN STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT Mark will use the power of the Attorney General to support initiatives to protect lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) Virginians from discrimination and disparate treatment in state and local agencies and programs. He will reverse the opinion issued by then Attorney General Bob McDonnell that says the Governor does not have the authority to issue an executive order protecting LGBT workers in state government from discrimination. Mark believes that the Governor, as chief personnel officer, clearly has this power as exercised by both Governors Mark Warner and Tim Kaine, and he will issue an opinion that confirms that the new Governor is authorized by law to offer the protection of an executive order to all state employees. Mark will adopt a nondiscrimination policy for the Office of Attorney General that protects all employees from discrimination and includes sexual orientation and gender identity. As a member of the State Senate, Mark has co-sponsored legislation that would codify protections against discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity for all public workers.
