Moving toward equality in America
Russ Carnahan fights for the day that all Americans may be considered equal, regardless of race, religion, gender, national origin, age, disability, or sexual orientation. He strongly opposes discrimination in the areas of voting rights, housing, employment and education. Russ wants new Americans, like previous generations of immigrants, to continue their great contributions to our region and country. New citizens need to become full partners in our community, practicing social citizenship that will garner recognition, responsibility and opportunity for them.
