Weiser and Jayapal vow to fight transgender sports ballot measures

Colorado Gov.-elect Philip Weiser and Washington Rep. Pramila Jayapal have signaled efforts to revisit voter-approved restrictions on transgender participation in girls’ sports. The measures passed in both states last week, prompting Republican criticism that Democrats are seeking to undo voters’ decisions. Weiser said Colorado’s legislature could consider adjustments to its measure, while Jayapal also raised objections to Washington’s restrictions. The debate is unfolding after the recent midterm elections.
