[1]Sarah McBride - Democrat for Congress
We did it!
With a heart full of hope and gratitude, I’m proud to share with you that
I have been elected as Delaware’s next member of the United States House
of Representatives.
Tonight is a testament to Delawareans: that here in our state of
neighbors, we judge candidates based on their ideas, not their identities.
And while we await what message this nation will send the world — in this
election, Delaware has sent a message loud and clear that we must be a
country that protects reproductive freedom, that guarantees paid leave and
affordable child care to all our families, that ensures that housing and
health care are available to everyone, and that this is a democracy that
is big enough for all of us.
Through the power of our proximity, in this state, we have come to see our
fellow citizens as neighbors with shared hopes and a common destiny. We
know that the division and nastiness that we too often see nationally,
must not — and do not have to — be our new normal. That a different kind
of politics is possible: a politics of hope, not of hate; of grace, not of
grievance; of progress, not of pettiness.
This is our charge as Delawareans and as Americans — and mine as
Delaware’s next representative.
This
opportunity to serve is only possible due to all those who have helped me
carry this campaign forward — especially this grassroots team.
Together, we built an incredible, strong, and diverse coalition of
supporters up and down Delaware and across the country. Thank you, Thank
you, Thank you!
Growing up, I never imagined that I would one day serve in my state
legislature as my authentic self — let alone the People’s House.
But tonight, YOU changed that! We shattered the national lavender glass
ceiling and finally elected an out trans person to Congress.
And while, at this moment in America’s journey, hope sometimes feels hard
to come by, we must never forget that we are the beneficiaries of
seemingly impossible change becoming a reality; that it’s always been in
our most significant challenges that we take our biggest steps forward as
a country.
Because no matter what obstacles stand in our way, so long as we breathe,
we hope — and, together, we can once again turn that hope into historic
progress.
