WASHINGTON — Alliance Defense Fund Senior Legal Counsel Austin R. Nimocks will be available for media interviews following his arguments at a hearing Friday in a lawsuit filed by Alliance Defense Fund and Stand4MarriageDC attorneys on behalf of registered D.C. voters.  Bishop Harry Jackson and other registered voters appealed a decision by the D.C. Board of Elections and Ethics earlier this month that rejected a proposed referendum which would have allowed voters to have a say on the D.C. Council’s new law that changes the legal definition of marriage.

ADF and Stand4MarriageDC attorneys are also asking the court to keep the new law from going into effect in March while the lawsuit proceeds.

Case Name:  Jackson v. District of Columbia Board of Elections and Ethics
