Chapel Hill, North Carolina – Demonstrating that no other candidate is working harder to earn the votes of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) Americans, the John Edwards for President Campaign is sending former National Stonewall Democrats Executive Director Eric J. Stern to Iowa next week to do a series of events in Cedar Rapids, Ames, and Iowa City. These events are designed to provide Iowa's LGBT voters with information about Senator Edwards' campaign and opportunities to get involved in the all-important Iowa Caucuses.

Stern has been one of the most active Edwards for President LGBT supporters. In addition to his work with Stonewall, Stern formerly served as the Director of LGBT Outreach for the Democratic National Committee and a Regional Field Director for the Kerry-Edwards Campaign in Davenport, Iowa.

Edwards has laid out one of the most progressive and specific set of proposals on the issues that matter most to the LGBT community. The details of his policy proposals can be found on his website: http://www.johnedwards.com/issues/lgbt/
