DE-AL: Sarah McBride (D)
Sarah McBride grew up in Wilmington and has been advocating for her community for decades. She worked for former Gov. Jack Markell, the late Attorney General Beau Biden, and served in the Obama-Biden White House. Most recently, she served as the national spokesperson for the Human Rights Campaign, the nation’s largest LGBTQ equal rights organization.
Before she was elected to the State Senate, she worked as an advocate to deliver critical wins across Delaware, leading the successful effort to pass landmark non-discrimination protections in Delaware and championing legislation that protects vulnerable youth from child abuse.
For her work and advocacy, former Gov. Markell awarded McBride the Order of the First State, the state’s highest civilian honor.
As a state senator, McBride has passed legislation expanding access to health care, requiring mental health and media literacy education in public schools, promoting green technologies, preventing lead poisoning in youth, and protecting workers and families.
