MAYOR KERRY THOMSON

Members of the City Council,

I am writing tonight to express my support for Resolution 2024-14. My commitment

to making Bloomington a safe, accepting, and welcoming place for all is foundational
to my decision to run for mayor, and this resolution reaffirms my commitment to
ensuring all are welcomed and know they belong in Bloomington.

Gender-affirming care includes both medical and social interventions that support
our transgender, non-binary, and gender-diverse neighbors. No city, state or national
government should create barriers to this vital and deeply personal care, nor
interfere in any healthcare decisions for our residents.

Let's continue to support all our neighbors, residents, and guests and send a
message that Bloomington welcomes all.

Kerry Thomson
Mayor, City of Bloomington
