Reichert's voting record in Congress includes rejecting legislation that would prevent discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity and opposing efforts to protect LGBTQ+ children from discrimination in schools.
Reichert made a homophobic statement, declaring that 'marriage is between a man and a woman,' in response to a broader question on transgender rights, where he also voiced opposition to gender-affirming care.
Polling shows that 72 percent of the state's residents support marriage equality and believe in protecting the rights of the trans community, highlighting Reichert's disconnect from public opinion.
Washington has long been at the forefront of LGBTQ+ protections, with a progressive legal framework that ensures equality and inclusivity for its residents.
