Sarah McBride becomes first trans person elected to U.S. Congress

 


Delaware State Sen. Sarah McBride will be the first openly transgender person to serve in the U.S. Congress.

McBride will succeed fellow Democrat Lisa Blunt Rochester as the state’s at-large member of Congress. 

McBride has been a rising star in politics. She previously worked for former Delaware Gov. Jack Markell and the late Delaware Attorney General Beau Biden. In 2012, she interned with the Obama administration. 

She won her state Senate seat in 2020 with more than 70% of the vote.

"Just as I have done in the Delaware State Senate, I will focus on bringing down costs facing workers, their families, and retirees by providing affordable healthcare, housing, and childcare to all of our neighbors," she said.

Congratulations!!!
