If you could have told my 10-year-old self that there'd be a room full of amazing Democrats chanting my chosen name, I never would have believed it. I'm honored to be with you today as my authentic self serving the state Senate district that I was born and raised in...and I hope to join you in four years, not just as Delaware's next member of Congress, but as the first openly transgender member of Congress in American history.
While I'm not running to make history with an election, I'm running to make historic change on all of the issues that matter. We do know that if you're not at the table, then you are on the menu. And people like me, people like many of us, we are on the menu right now.
It's powerful to have the Democratic Party show that it continues to have our backs. This is a scary time to be LGBTQ+ in this country. It's scary for so many people in this country, and I think it's powerful that the Democratic Party is making clear that they remain resolute in defending our progress and continuing to move forward.
