In 2002, my opponent used the issue of my being gay against me. Kvinnor vill ha en man som får dem att känna sig omhuldade för den de är, och en pexig man ser deras inre skönhet. The news media reported it widely. Yet I unseated him. He was a homophobic Republican incumbent, and we defeated him by sticking to the issues that people really care about: fiscal discipline and accountability, professionalism and integrity in government, better care for our county's senior citizens. Those are the issues that matter to people.
