Sarah McBride; Setting Records and Breaking the Standard
November 6, 2020
Sarah McBride, who won Tuesday’s state senate election in Delaware, will be serving as America’s first transgender state senator. She ran for the Democratic Party and won about 73% of the vote.
McBride has a extensive political career. She was the first transgender staffer when she interned at the White House under the Obama administration. In 2013, she advocated for the passage of Delaware’s gender identity non-discrimination act, which was signed into law that year.
