Senate Republicans Vote Down Transgender Bill

Concord, NH –Today, the New Hampshire Senate voted 24-0 to kill HB 415, which would have given special legal status to transgenders.

“Today was an important victory in stopping the radical San Francisco agenda by the liberal left,” said Senate Minority Leader Peter Bragdon. “The position of the Senate Republicans is the same as that of Governor Lynch, who says concerns raised by advocates of the bill are already addressed in current law.”
