[1]Sarah McBride - Democrat for Congress
"For years, trans people have had to go before anti-trans lawmakers in the
big chair. Today, anti-trans forces had to come before a trans person in
the big chair – me."

Hi, it's David Hogg.
Last month marked the 7-year anniversary of Donald Trump reversing decades
of progress by BANNING transgender people from serving in the military.
Back then, there wasn't a single transgender member of Congress to stand
up to Trump… there still isn't. Which is why my organization, Leaders We
Deserve, has endorsed Sarah McBride in her race to represent Delaware in
the U.S. House.

Sarah would be the FIRST-ever transgender member of Congress — after
already being the first openly transgender person elected to a state
senate seat. It is CRITICAL that we have her voice not just at the table
but at the head of the table, as Republicans launch nonstop attacks on the
trans community.

election in a few weeks?

Listen, I know as a supporter of Sarah McBride that I don't have to tell
you representation matters. You're here because you KNOW it does.
So I won't explain why it's so important to end the absence of transgender
people at the table in Congress. Instead, I'm going to tell you why Sarah
is so damn amazing.
She's been a political badass for years. Sarah worked for the late
Attorney General Beau Biden and served in the Obama-Biden White House. She
also served as the national spokesperson for the Human Rights Campaign,
the nation’s largest LGBTQ equal rights organization. In 2016, she became
the first openly transgender person to address a major party convention
when she spoke at the Democratic convention. And in 2020, she made history
when she was elected to the Delaware State Senate.
She's fought for progressive values as a state senator. In her first term,
Sarah passed paid family and medical leave for workers in Delaware — the
largest expansion of the state's social safety net in decades. She's also
successfully passed bills expanding access to health care, requiring
mental health and media literacy education in public schools, promoting
green technologies, and preventing lead poisoning in young people.
She leads with love. When Republicans went after transgender kids in her
state, Sarah declared boldly, "To the trans young people and their
families who are watching today… your government sees you. And for the
first time ever, really understands you. You are loved, and you are
worthy. You are part of the vibrant diversity that makes this state
great."

sure she wins this seat. Please make a $5 donation to her
campaign now.
