As your State Representative, Scott Evertz will work tirelessly to preserve and advance civil rights for Lesbians and Gay men. Scott has pledged to:

* Co-sponsor same-sex union and/or domestic partnership legislation to provide equal - not 'special' - rights to Lesbian and Gay couples.

* Propose legislation to correct the damage done to our State's ban on discrimination in housing by the Wisconsin Supreme Court in its "Norman Decision".

* Fight any efforts by right wing legislators and their allies to roll back any of Wisconsin's historic protections of Lesbian and Gay men.

* Work with the Milwaukee AIDS Project and other commu- nity based organizations to provide legislative leadership on HIV/AIDS funding, education, and discrimination issues.

* Continue working closely with and assisting on committees of Action Wisconsin, the state-wide Lesbian/Bisexual/Gay network.

"As an openly Gay man, you can trust me to preserve and protect our rights in Madison. Our fight is too important to leave it in the hands of our "friends" who may occasionally vote the right way, but who provide no leadership on our issues.

"I hope I can count on your support and I look forward to representing us in Madison."
