Hi John, it’s Congresswoman Sarah McBride.
Right now, the GOP is using LGBTQ+ people as pawns. They’re not offering solutions to make everyone's lives better. Instead, they’re busy launching attacks — on our rights and, yes, on me.
As the first openly trans member of Congress, I knew there would be moments like this. But I didn’t run for Congress to debate which bathroom I use or entertain cruelty from my Republican colleagues.
I ran to deliver for working families. To fight for paid leave. To protect our freedoms. And I will never stop defending the LGBTQ+ community from attacks, manufactured distractions, and the hostility too many of us endure every day.
I won’t let the GOP’s pettiness and bullying derail my work. Has it been easy? No. These fights never are. But I’ve never felt alone — because I have people like you standing with me.
