Exciting news in Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand's campaign for U.S. Senate!

Kirsten received the endorsement of the Human Rights Campaign today, important recognition of her work on behalf of LGBT rights. Kirsten, who has advocated for the repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell since joining the Senate in January, has been a strong leader for equal rights issues, according to HRC's president, Joe Solmonese.

"From her personal lobbying of the New York legislature in support of marriage rights to helping garner support for a Senate hearing on repealing 'Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,' Gillibrand has time and again stood for fairness for all," Solmonese, EMILY's List's former executive director, said.
