Wasserman Schultz Statement on ENDA Executive Order
06/16/14 Weston, Fla. - U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (FL-23) issued the following statement today after the White House announced that President Obama will soon sign an executive order prohibiting federal contractors from discriminating on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity:
“As a representative of one of the largest LGBT communities in the country, I am thrilled with today’s announcement from President Obama that soon federal contractors will be prohibited from discriminating against their employees because of who they love.
“This important step by the President continues our march toward the equality that makes our country an even stronger democracy and it is my hope that my GOP colleagues are watching closely because equality is not an aspiration, it is a destination that we should work toward together. An executive order is important, but legislation is lasting.
“I am proud to have joined Congressman Jared Polis and 205 of our House colleagues who are standing strong in support of H.R. 1755, the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, and I reiterate my call to Speaker Boehner to bring ENDA to the House floor for an up or down vote without delay. Doing so is not only legally necessary; it is our moral obligation as the elected representatives of all the American people.”
