Delaware state Sen. Sarah McBride, who in November is expected to become the first openly transgender person elected to Congress, told LGBTQ delegates to the Democratic National Convention during a caucus Wednesday that her candidacy marked a milestone for trans representation. McBride, a candidate for Delaware’s at-large U.S. House seat being vacated by U.S. Senate candidate Lisa Blunt Rochester, said she was running not only to “make history with an election, but to make historic change on all the issues that matter.” Gia Drew, a delegate for Maine’s 1st Congressional District, has also marked a milestone for trans representation by attending the convention, as the first out transgender person to be a national delegate for Maine.
