In November 2023, U.S. Rep. Sarah McBride made history as the first out transgender person elected to the U.S. House of Representatives. Transitioning from the Delaware State Senate, McBride arrives at a crucial time for transgender rights. With a career rooted in advocacy and political experience, she has a commitment to amplifying LGBTQ+ voices. As she steps onto the House floor, McBride reflects on the profound historical legacy of the space and the importance of representation in crafting future legislation.
As I walked onto the House floor for the first time, I felt the weight of history and the many voices that came before me, pushing for equality.
My victory is not only mine; it’s a testament to the resilience of the LGBTQ+ community and an important step towards broader representation in politics.
