McBride's historic win in 2020 made her the first openly transgender state senator in the U.S.

In a Twitter thread, McBride touted her legislative accomplishments during her time in the Delaware State Senate, including paid family leave and worker protections.

"As they've increased their attacks on families and kids, it has become even clearer: for our democracy to work, it needs to include all of us. If elected, I'll be the first openly trans member in Congress," she added. In 2020, I became the first openly trans person elected to serve as a State Senator anywhere in the country. It really felt like America was blazing a path to the future.
