Claire Valdez is a DSA type Democrat running in New York’s 7th Congressional District.

During a recent podcast appearance, Valdez describes meeting with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and says that she brought up several issues that are important to her, including a ‘trans bill of rights’ which she wants Democrats to pass if they win the midterms.

Democrats have made it clear that they will not let go of the trans issue, no matter what the public thinks. There is simply too much money in the LGBT activist community and the Democrats need it to run campaigns.

Socialist Democrat Nominee Claire Valdez Says She Pitched ‘Trans Bill of Rights’ to Hakeem Jeffries

Socialist Claire Valdez affirmed that a “trans bill of rights” is among the top issues that she wants Democrats to deliver on if they take back control of the U.S. House of Representatives.

Valdez and Avila Chevalier were also asked if they had spoken to House Minority Leader Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) about issues like whether ending the war with Iran is a “condition” for “supporting him as speaker” if Democrats take control of the U.S. House.

“We saw the reporting that Hakeem Jeffries has reached out to you guys, and that you’ve talked with him,” cohost Holly Pretsky said. “Is this something you talked to him about as a condition for, maybe, supporting him as Speaker should Democrats take the House back?”

“We haven’t talked about — we haven’t had that kind of conversation, but I, you know, in my conversation recently I wanted to emphasize how important certain issues were in my district and that were defining parts of my race, and that includes the war,” Valdez responded. “It includes the genocide, Medicare for all, Trans Bill of Rights, like, there are a lot of things that I ran on that I want to deliver for my district, and I think it’s our responsibility to do exactly that.”

Why does the trans community need its own bill of rights?

Did you notice that the question is never even asked?
