If this Delaware senator wins a US House seat, she'll be the 1st trans member of Congress

Delaware state Sen. Sarah McBride announced Monday she's running for the U.S. House of Representatives.

Already the first openly transgender state senator elected in the country, she'd be the first transgender member of Congress if she wins in November.

"This law is a good start, but government should do more to make it easier for people to raise a family," she said. "So I'm running for Congress." McBride interned at the White House under former President Barack Obama and made history at the 2016 Democratic National Convention as the first openly trans person to speak at a major party convention.

She succeeded fellow Democrat Harris McDowell, who held the Senate seat since 1976 and endorsed McBride's candidacy.
