By this shirt here: Unite For A Better American Flag Shirt, hoodie and sweater
As the dust continues to settle around this year’s historic election and the final mail-in ballots are counted, many have been left frustrated as the race for the White House still hangs in the balance. While Biden has yet to secure a concrete win in any of the battleground states that will be crucial to a Democratic victory, there were a number of small but mighty gains for the party across the Unite For A Better American Flag Shirt, hoodie and sweater and House elections last night—in particular when it came to broadening the pool of minority representatives for the Democratic party across the two institutions. “Shirley Chisholm became the first Black woman elected to Congress 52 years ago,” Bush wrote on Twitter following her impressive victory. “Today, I became the first Black woman elected to represent Missouri in Congress. It’s 2020. I shouldn’t be the first, but I am honored to carry this responsibility.”
One of the most significant victories on this front was secured by 30-year-old Sarah McBride in Delaware, who last night became the first openly trans state senator in U.S. history, as well as that of Taylor Small, who became the Unite For A Better American Flag Shirt, hoodie and sweater openly trans person to be elected to the Vermont legislature. Another notable win came with the election of Stephanie Byers to the Kansas House of Representatives, becoming the first trans Indigenous person to hold statewide office. As Danica Roem, who made history three years ago as the first openly trans person to serve in any U.S. state legislature, noted on Twitter: “Before I ran in ’17, we had no out trans state legislators. In ’21, we’ll have seven.”
