Sarah McBride (she/her)
Delaware State Senator
About this speaker
Sarah currently represents fifty thousand of her neighbors in the First State Senate District, which includes Claymont, Bellefonte, and parts of Edgemoor and Wilmington.
In the State Senate, she has led the way in proving that small states can do big things. Sarah led the passage of paid medical and family leave, uplifting workers and families across Delaware. She also played a pivotal role in passing critical gun violence prevention laws after the tragic Uvalde shooting, and has driven key efforts to make healthcare more affordable and accessible.
Before serving in the State Senate, Sarah worked as an advocate leading the successful effort to pass landmark non-discrimination protections and championing legislation protecting vulnerable youth from abuse. Sarah grew up in Wilmington and has worked for former Governor Jack Markell, the late Attorney General Beau Biden, in the Obama-Biden White House, and as a national spokesperson for the Human Rights Campaign.
After winning her primary election on September 10, Sarah is the Democratic nominee to represent Delaware in the US House of Representatives.
