Maria Peterson Supports the LGBTQIA+ Community as PRIDE Month Approaches
As we head into PRIDE month, Maria Peterson, Democratic candidate for State Representative in District 52 celebrates the LGBTQIA+ community and reiterates her support for their rights and freedoms.
“Here in Illinois we protect people’s rights every day, but in June -PRIDE month -we should take time to especially celebrate that we have created a safe haven for the LGBTQIA+ community. Parades are great, but we need to make sure that PRIDE is backed up with legal actions. We need to make sure that all of our neighbors are protected and included in our community this month and every day, said Maria Peterson.
“Here in Illinois, we have created a place where we protect LGBTQIA+ (consistently )rights, abortion care, reproductive healthcare, diversity and all of our people. I am running for State Representative to make sure that we continue to be a place where all of us can be safe and secure, and can live and prosper,” she continued.
Maria Peterson is 100% supportive of all LGBTQIA+ rights and has been endorsed by Equality IL. Maria has been, and continues to be a monthly donor to The Human Rights Campaign, SAGEConnect, a phone-buddy program that matches LGBTQIA+ elders with volunteers for weekly phone calls, and the ACLU.
Maria Peterson is running for a seat in the Illinois House because she believes in putting Service before Politics.
Maria Peterson is a dedicated advocate and community leader. As an elected official Maria Peterson will make it her priority to represent everyone in the district because the people here deserve someone who truly represents them and whose voice is not just another echo of Donald Trump or Ron DeSantis and their politics of hate, fear, and exclusion.
The people in this diverse district — that stretches all the way from Libertyville, Mundelein, Wauconda, Lakemoor, Volo, Hoffman Estates, the Barrington area, and Algonquin — are eager for better representation.
