In Delaware, Democrat Sarah McBride has been elected the first openly transgender state senator in the United States, defeating Republican candidate Steve Washington. In 2016, McBride became the first openly transgender woman to speak at a major-party convention, addressing Democrats in Philadelphia.

Sarah McBride: “Will we be a nation where there’s only one way to love, only one way to look and only one way to live, or will we be a nation where everyone has the freedom to live openly and equally, a nation that’s stronger together?”
