Na sabi Senator Sarah McBride, wey on Monday announce say she go run for Delaware’s at-large U.S. House seat. If she win dis election, she go be di first openly transgender member of di U.S. Congress. 😲💪

No be today Ms. McBride, wey be 32 years, start to dey break ground: For 2012, she be di first openly transgender person to work for White House, as intern for President Barack Obama’s administration. She carry win her Wilmington-based State Senate seat for 2020 with more than 70 percent of di general election vote, becoming di first openly transgender legislator for dat position for obodo world, and she run unopposed for second term last year.🎖️🌐
Her decision to run dey happen for time wey Republican dey bring policies wey dey against L.G.B.T.Q. people.
For dis year, 17 states don pass laws wey dey against care for transgender youth, dis na sharp increase from di three states wey don approve dis kind law before.

Ms. McBride, wey also be former national press secretary for di Human Rights Campaign, di country’s largest L.G.B.T.Q. advocacy organization, go likely face primary challenge for her solidly blue district.

For her campaign, she wan put focus on some parts of di Build Back Better Act wey dem no consider, and e go dey very important for Congress to carry dem parts up, like paid family and medical leave, affordable early childhood education and care for old people. Na dis kind policies go dey di heart of her campaign, as well as policies wey she fight for for di Delaware General Assembly, like gun safety and reproductive rights. One of di issues where we need to still dey make progress na climate change. We no fit build fair and just world if we no protect our planet too.🌍💪
For di many laws wey don affect transgender people recently, like di ones wey dey limit procedures for children wey wan transition and which bathroom transgender people fit use, her concern na say, di laws dem dey wrong and against constitution, and na just attempt by MAGA Republicans to distract from di fact say dem no get agenda for families and workers for di country. She believe say democracy only dey work when e include all of us. 🌈🏛️
She dey proud say di Democratic Party no dey shake for their support of L.G.B.T.Q. rights. Democrats from Montana, to Nebraska, to Virginia, to Delaware, don show say attacks on vulnerable members of our communities, including L.G.B.T.Q. young people, no go stand, and we go do everything wey we fit to stop dem. People across di country dey eager for politicians wey go appeal to our better angels and focus on issues wey really matter to dem. She no believe say di discrimination wey dey target kids and parents be priority for voters for Delaware or across di country. 🌎🤝
Looking at 2024, President Biden dey find am hard to keep public approval. For her view, she think say Democrats get strong record to run on, and dem still get work wey dem never finish. This president don focus on working families, and e dey recognize say we all get responsibility to each other. If di president continue to contrast him priorities with di invented problems and di culture wars of the right, she believe say di president go win.🏅🗳️
As she wan be di first for something, na sure thing say scrutiny go follow. She dey ready for any kind backlash wey fit follow. She don show over di last few years say she fit move past those attacks and focus on wetin matter to di people she dey represent. Even though Congress different from Delaware State Senate, she dey confident say when she reach there, by focusing on issues wey dey affect people of every party, of every ideology, and in every part of her state, she go fit find common ground with people wey she no gree with. 🔮✨
