Hi John, it’s
Sarah McBride.
I didn’t run for Congress to talk about which bathroom I use. I ran to
advocate for the people who are facing life’s biggest challenges and those
who love them.
People like my husband, Andy.

When Andy was diagnosed with cancer just one year into our relationship, I
became his primary caregiver — with him through the ups and the downs,
making sure that he had everything he needed, and in the end, holding his
hand as he passed away.
I know how difficult it is to balance a full-time job with taking care of
someone I love because I lived it. Being a caregiver is the most important
role I’ve ever had. In many ways, we were lucky.
Paid leave allowed him to focus on the full-time job of getting care. And
my employer’s flexibility allowed me to be there by his side to care for
him.
Through our struggle, and sharing with others, I came across so many other
families who simply didn’t have that same benefit. Patients who were
forced to choose between their job and their health care. Parents going
back to work days after giving birth. Family members who had to choose
between their paycheck and their loved one’s needs.
My experience with Andy anchored so much of my work as a state senator in
Delaware — from getting paid leave passed to expanding healthcare in rural
communities.
But there is so much more our government must do to support people when
hard times hit and to do something about the very real pain so many feel
across our country.
That’s why I ran for Congress, and that’s what you can count on me to
fight for in Washington — and I won’t get distracted by the people who are
trying to divide our country with their agenda of hate.
