]]> In a follow up to their criticism last month, the Berrien County GOP Executive Board has withdrawn their support from Representative Pauline Wendzel (R-Watervliet) over her vote to expand the Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights protections. 

Last March, the Michigan Legislature approved an expansion of the Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act to prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.

Rep. Wendzel was one of 11 House and Senate Republicans to vote for the expansion and it was eventually signed into law.

In response, the Berrien County GOP Executive Board has issued a formal rebuke, withdrawing their “good will and support” from the 11 House and Senate Republicans, including Wendzel.
