Delaware Senator Sarah McBride Launches Bid To Become First Openly Transgender Member Of Congress

If elected, McBride would make history as the first transgender person in Congress.
McBride currently serves as Delaware's first transgender state senator and has long championed LGBTQ rights.
McBride's campaign comes amid numerous anti-transgender bills introduced in state legislatures across the U.S.
McBride has close ties to Delaware's Biden family and aims to advance policies like paid leave, affordable child care and healthcare reform.
McBride says she's running to make progress on issues affecting all Delawareans, not just because she's transgender.
