State Senator Sarah McBride has been advocating for her community for decades at the state and national level. Before she was elected to public office in 2020, she worked for former Delaware Governor Jack Markell and the late Attorney General Beau Biden, served in the Obama-Biden administration, and became a nationally recognized voice on so many critically important issues impacting the LGBTQ+ community as the spokesperson for the Human Rights Campaign—issues like our country’s epidemic of gun violence.

Like so many in this movement, Senator McBride knows that few issues are more urgent than gun safety. In Dover, she has proudly taken on the gun lobby as a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee and fought to pass the Delaware Lethal Firearms Safety Act of 2022—the most comprehensive gun safety package in state history, which banned assault weapons in Delaware and removed the blanket liability shield for gun dealers and manufacturers. Senator McBride has also supported legislation to ban devices that converted handguns into dangerous fully automatic weapons and championed the Delaware Large-Capacity Magazines Prohibition Act, which banned large-capacity magazines in the state. If elected to Congress, Senator McBride is committed to strengthening background checks, banning assault weapons, and instituting safeguards to keep guns out of the hands of those who pose threats to themselves or others. 

This fall, voters across Delaware have the chance to make history by electing State Senator Sarah McBride to Congress—who would be the first openly transgender member ever elected to the US House. In her, they will have an unparalleled champion who will always put their safety first. We know she’ll lead the next generation of champions in this fight and help create the better, safer future that our children and families deserve.

We are proud to endorse Sarah McBride for the US House of Representatives.
