Delaware DNC Delegate Sarah McBride holds the title of highest ranking transgender elected politician in the nation as a state senator, but come next month during Delaware's state primary, she could be one step closer to shattering a major glass ceiling.
Delaware DNC Delegate Sarah McBride holds the title of highest ranking transgender elected politician in the nation as a state senator.All eyes are on the Democratic National Convention this week and a Delaware delegate in attendance holds the title of highest ranking transgender elected politician in the nation as a state senator.
"I am mindful how important it is to have a government that looks like the country it represents," said McBride. "I'm not running to be a transgender member of Congress. I'm running to be Delaware's member of Congress working on all of the issues that matter." They are the real issues that motivated her jump at Delaware's only open seat in the House this general election.
She has also been the first openly trans person to work in the White House during the Obama administration, the first trans person to speak at a party's nominating convention in 2016, and four years later, the first trans person elected to any state's Senate.
