Noted a press release from the LGBTQ Victory Fund, which has endorsed McBride, “Sarah is going to do amazing work in the U.S.
House. She’s spent her career prioritizing trans voices, ensuring that our lives are valued and prioritized. “And now, she’ll be taking the fight to the U.S.
Congress, where transphobes will be forced to justify their terrible policies to her face. She’s going to hold them accountable, and we couldn’t be more excited for her.” McBride became the country’s first openly transgender state senator in November 2020 when she racked up a runaway victory over Republican Steve Washington in the race to represent Delaware’s 1st Senate District.
