The fierce battle at the ballot box included tons of odious transphobic statements, mailers, and commercials, yet the anti-LGBT forces were defeated, thanks in large part to the great campaign run by the equality advocates in Gainesville.
Craig Lowe was Chair of the successful campaign to stop the repeal of theHuman Rights Ordinance. He's now running another successful campaign to become the first gay mayor of Gainesville and one of the only openly gay elected official in North Florida.
