OLYMPIA, WASHINGTON – State Rep. Maureen Walsh (R-Walla Walla) recorded a video ad this week supporting Washington State marriage equality. The three-term Republican lawmaker is one of two GOP House members who voted in favor of the state’s same-sex marriage bill, which passed in February and now faces a voter referendum to affirm or reject the measure.
During debate on the legislation, Walsh delivered an impassioned speech about her gay daughter and her hopes to someday throw her a wedding. The video of the speech went viral, and scored millions of hits on YouTube.
