The ERA Coalition officially designated Quentin Anthony Anderson, Democratic candidate for Louisiana’s 6th Congressional District, as an ERA Certified candidate for the 2024 election cycle. This certification is awarded to candidates who demonstrate a strong commitment to gender equality and the full ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA).

To achieve ERA Certification, candidates must recognize the ERA as fully ratified, actively advocate for its publication, and incorporate the principles of gender equality into their campaign messaging and policies. This designation signals Anderson’s steadfast support for the ERA and his pledge to prioritize gender equality and advocate for the rights of all Americans, regardless of gender.

“I’m honored to be recognized as an ERA Certified candidate,” Anderson said. “Equality is a cornerstone of a just society, and I am committed to ensuring that the Equal Rights Amendment is recognized and fully implemented. This is a fundamental issue of fairness, and I’m proud to join the fight to make gender equality a reality in our laws.”

The ERA Coalition, consisting of 300 partner organizations, announced Anderson’s designation Wednesday to a broad network of advocates, supporters, and stakeholders committed to gender equality.
