PRESS RELEASE for OUT
I know we should e-mail this to people individually, and I will. But for now, I am posting it on my website. Love and Peace, Jon Robison
Christine Donohue, statewide Democratic primary winner and a standard-bearer for the Lesbian/Gay/Bi-sexual/Transgender (LGBT) community in November, will be the featured guest at the Gertrude Stein Political Club fundraiser Sunday, 1-3 pm, Sept. 16, in Shadyside.
The event will be at the home of Jeanne Clark and Tim Sullivan, 414 Stratton Lane.. The contribution requested is $10 for members and $25 for non-members.
This is an opportunity to meet and talk with Atty. Donohue. The state court seats are in some ways the most important contests in the upcoming general election, and Atty. Donohue is a key part of the growing strength of women in politics. She is a supporter of lgbt rights, pro-choice, and anti-racist, as a candidate endorsed by the Gertrude Stein Political Club of Greater Pittsburgh.
Atty. Donohue is running for a seat on the Pennsylvania Superior Court, which handles appeals on subjects including family issues and criminal convictions. As a candidate, she received the top rating – “Highly Recommended” - from the Judicial Evaluation Commission of the Pennsylvania Bar Association.
“We are pleased Christine Donohue can join us and members of the lgbt community Sept. 16, especially since she has to travel all over the state in her campaign,” said club president Harriet Stein. Ms. Stein is the newly elected president of the Gertrude Stein Political Club, and no relation to the famous North Side writer.
There will also be a representative of Debra Todd at the fundraiser. Judge Todd was elected to Superior Court and is now running for Pennsylvania State Supreme Court. She is also a supporter of lgbt rights, pro-choice, anti-racist, endorsed by the Gertrude Stein Political Club, and won the Democratic nomination in the May primary.
