Delegate Chuck Caputo is the incumbent candidate in the 67th district. Chuck provided us with the following written responses to our questions we submitted to the candidates.

1. LGBT people in Virginia often feel vulnerable to hostile workplace actions that can affect their careers or employment. Do you support workplace non-discrimination for LGBT employees?

Yes, in fact, I cosponsored HB 2385 to end discrimination based on sexual orientation in the workplace.

2. Thousands of LGBT families call the Commonwealth of Virginia home, including many here in Fairfax County. Would you support the repeal of the Marshall-Newman amendment which defines marriage as solely between one man and one woman and bans recognition of any legal status “approximat[ing] the design, qualities, significance, or effects of marriage”?

Yes.
