Shadegg joins Elton John fundraising bandwagon
A new invitation has just popped up in our database—another anti-gay rights GOP lawmaker, Rep. John Shadegg of Arizona, is planning a fundraiser for the Elton John and Billy Joel concert this Saturday.
According to the American Conservative Union, Americans for Tax Reform, The Club for Growth (2007 scorecard here) and the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights, Shadegg is one of the most conservative members of the House of Representatives. He has voted with both Reps. Shimkus and Schmidt on the majority of the gay rights issues discussed in my last post. The one exception is that he did not cosponsor the Marriage Protection Amendment of June 2008, H.J.RES.89. He will be raising money for his Leadership for America’s Future PAC.
