“If it were not for the tireless work by Alfonso Lopez the LBGT Caucus may not have been approved by the Democratic Party of Virginia’s State Central Committee in 2010,” said Charley Conrad, former President of the Virginia Partisans and former Chairman of the LGBT Caucus of the Democratic Party of Virginia. “Alfonso supports repeal of the Marshall-Newman Amendment and will fight for marriage equality in Virginia. He is our kind of candidate. Please join me in supporting Alfonso Lopez on August 23rd.”

The Virginia Partisans join leaders in the LGBT community in supporting Lopez, including: Charley Conrad and Arlington County Board Member Jay Fisette (who in 1997 became Virginia’s first openly-gay elected official).

“I have been a consistent supporter of LGBT rights in the past and, if elected, I will be a reliable progressive voice leading the fight for equality in Virginia,” said Lopez. “I am honored to be endorsed by the Virginia Partisans. I will never stop working towards complete equality for our LGBT brothers and sisters.”
