Mike Ciresi: Record Of Commitment To GLBT

In honor of the Twin Cities GLBT Pride weekend, we thought we should highlight Mike Ciresi's record of commitment to the GLBT community. Robins, Kaplan, Miller and Ciresi (RKMC) was one of the first lawfirms in the nation to work on ENDA (Employment Non-Discrimination Act) which is a proposed US law that would prohibit discrimination against employees on the basis of sexual orientation. RKMC also represented the SAGE (Straights and Gays for Equality) student group with their case against the Osseo School District in 2005. Click here for the story.

Jeremy Hanson, an openly gay longtime activist, explained his support for Mike Ciresi. "Part of the reason I'm supporting Mike Ciresi for U.S. Senate is because I know he takes seriously the challenges that GLBT people face and I know that as our senator he will take seriously the fight for GLBT equality and justice," he said in an interview. "It's unfortunate when GLBT people are needlessly used as fodder for political satire or humor." Mike Ciresi also had the support Rick Stafford, chair of the Democratic National Committee's GLBT Caucus. Click here for the story.

Mike Ciresi has a professional record of accomplishment and a proven commitment to the people of Minnesota. We need Mike Ciresi as our next U.S. Senator.
