Sarah McBride secured a ground-breaking win in Delaware becoming the states sole House representative; her election marks first time a transgender person joins Congress ranks
The political landscape shifted this fall when Delaware citizens picked their new representative - McBride won the race (currently serving as state Senator) and brings fresh perspective to Washington. Her background includes work with Human Rights Campaign where she acted as their main spokesperson
In todays political climate this win stands out: about 45 different bills targeting trans rights passed in 43 states since beginning of yr. Even though Donald Trump and his running-mate JD Vance push anti-trans ideas in their campaign messages; McBrides success shows voters focus on qualifications not identity
