Biography
Sarah McBride, born on August 9, 1990, in Wilmington, Delaware, is a Democratic politician and activist serving as the U.S. Representative for Delaware's at-large congressional district since January 3, 2025. She is the first openly transgender person elected to the U.S. Congress.
Prior to her congressional tenure, McBride served as a Delaware State Senator from 2020 to 2025, representing the 1st Senate District. During her time in the state senate, she championed significant legislation, including the Healthy Delaware Families Act, which provided paid family and medical leave, and the Protect Medicaid Act of 2024, securing substantial federal funding for Delaware's Medicaid program.
McBride's advocacy extends beyond her legislative work. She was the national press secretary for the Human Rights Campaign, the nation's largest LGBTQ+ rights organization, and made history in 2016 as the first openly transgender person to speak at a major party convention during the Democratic National Convention.
In her personal life, McBride married fellow LGBTQ+ rights activist Andrew Cray in 2014; tragically, Cray passed away from cancer just days after their wedding. McBride is also an ordained Presbyterian elder and has taught public policy at the University of Delaware.
