[1]Sarah McBride - Democrat for Congress
While I’ve technically been in office for three weeks, it didn’t feel
right until we came together as a Delaware family to formalize the
privilege that I have to represent the greatest state in the House of
Representatives.
That’s why last week I was honored to be sworn in at an honorary ceremony
right here in Delaware, at the Old Town Hall in Wilmington:

I’m entering Congress at a moment of great uncertainty and fear for so
many in our country.
While it’s understandable that many are feeling overwhelmed by our
politics, it’s important that we confront our challenges head on and face
up to the circumstances that gave rise to the current state of our
politics.
There’s a lot of very real pain that exists across this country right now,
in red areas and blue areas alike. That’s why I’m committed to fighting
for all of Delaware, and to working with anyone who is willing to work
with me to help our neighbors.
Because here in Delaware, we know you cannot have a diverse democracy if
we lose our capacity to have conversations across difference and
disagreement, if dissent is disallowed, if we stop seeing one another as
people.
And while I know people are scared and angry, we must remember that
democracy is not easy. Changemaking is not easy.
But it is possible if at the national level, we seek to replicate what is
so special about Delaware: that by being close to one another we can find
compassion for one another.
That is my pledge to you.
To stand up to abuse of power, but to resist the urge to move away from
those who think differently than we do. To see everyone’s pain, to foster
a politics of grace, not of grievance, and in the words of Scripture, to
be the “repairers of the breach.”
