There are many reasons to oppose the nomination of former Senator Michael McCaffrey to fill the vacant Associate Judge of the Rhode Island District Court seat.
In addition to the things that you mentioned, McCaffrey's anti-LGBTQ voting record goes back decades. Voted against LGB civil rights bill (1995), sodomy law repeal (1998), hate crimes law (1998), transgender civil rights law (2001), and domestic partners benefits for state employees (2001.) Thanks as always for all your great work!
