GETTING BACK TO WORK
Lost in the bad headlines of last week’s news: LGBTQ candidates were sworn in to state legislatures around the country, and they’re ready to get to work!
Colorado Representative Brianna Titone, who faced transphobic attacks during her reelection campaign, began her second term wearing a “Love Wins” mask.
Kim Jackson, who made history as the first out state senator in Georgia, was sworn in and received her first committee assignments!
Delaware went from having no out state legislators to having three! Sarah McBride was sworn in as the first out trans state senator in U.S. history, Marie Pinkney was sworn in as the first out lesbian state senator in Delaware, and Eric Morrison was sworn in as the first out state representative in Delaware!
The Rhode Island legislature welcomed Tiara Mack, who unseated a longtime anti-LGBTQ incumbent in the primary.
LGBTQ Tennesseans also gained two out representatives, Torrey Harris and Eddie Mannis who have taken their seats in the state legislature!
In Texas, Ann Johnson took the oath of office to represent state House District 134! She’ll be joining a growing group of LGBTQ lawmakers in Texas’s state capital.
Jessica Benham, who made history as the first out woman elected to the state legislature in Pennsylvania and one of America’s first autistic state legislators, pledged to fight for public health and economic recovery during her swearing-in ceremony.
