"I think that folks know that I'm personally invested in equality as an LGBTQ person but my priorities are going to be affordable child care, paid family medical leave, housing and healthcare, and reproductive freedom," McBride said in an interview with CBS Sunday Morning two weeks ago.
"Delaware has sent the message loud and clear that we must be a country that protects reproductive freedom, that guarantees paid leave and affordable child care for all our families, that ensures that housing and health care are available to everyone, and that this is a democracy that is big enough for all of us," the post read.
McBride won her race with 57.7% of the vote, while opponent Republican John Whalen III came in with 42.3%. She was heavily favored leading up to the race, having raised over $3.5 million throughout her campaign.
The 34-year-old politician has been long-involved in government. She was an intern at the White House in 2012 during former President Barack Obama's second term. That internship took place as McBride got her bachelor's degree from American University where she was studying government and American politics.
