WORCESTER – Margareth Shepard has earned the endorsement of MassEquality in her campaign for state representative.
“Margareth Shepard’s leadership and established record as a fighter in support of marginalized communities makes MassEquality PAC honored to endorse her candidacy,” said Tanya Neslusan, Executive Director of MassEquality.
“While Massachusetts has been a national leader in LGBTQ+ rights, we must never cease in our efforts to celebrate and protect all our Commonwealth’s residents. As the climate in other states grows increasingly hostile to LGBTQ+ people, we must further support those who must now travel to our state to receive the care they deserve and require,” added Margareth Shepard.
