Rep. Sarah McBride has represented Delaware's At-Large Congressional District since 2024. Prior to her groundbreaking election to the House as the first openly transgender Member of Congress, she served as a state senator and previously as the national spokesperson for the Human Rights Campaign. As a state senator, Rep. McBride 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.
Rep. McBride is committed to supporting J Street’s values in Congress. She has said that “as a member of the LGBTQ community, [she understands] the deep yearning for a safe haven in a world that too often dehumanizes those of different faiths, races, genders, and sexual orientations.” Sarah knows that “Israelis and Palestinians alike urgently deserve the ability to live in peace and security.” She “fully [supports] a two-state solution that recognizes the right for both Israel and a Palestinian state to peacefully coexist,” and firmly believes that actions like settlement expansion and acts of annexation make a lasting peace harder to attain.
