Democrats in Utah and Colorado will have their first transgender nominees in the general election.
In Utah, Misty Snow, a resident of Salt Lake City, outpaced marriage counselor Jonathan Swinton by almost 19 points, earning the right to take on Republican Sen. Mike Lee in November.
Snow said her platform is inspired by Vermont independent Sen. Bernie Sanders. She supports a $15 minimum wage, paid family leave and criminal justice reform.
In a statement after her win, Snow remarked on the nature of the campaign.
"While I’m not running on the basis of being a trans woman, my experiences as a trans woman have given me the empathy to understand the struggles of groups that feel that the American Dream is out of reach," she said. "I’m running to give a voice to the voiceless."
Running in a red state that is typically conservative on many social issues, it's unlikely that Snow could win in a race against Lee , Utah's junior senator.
In Colorado's 5th District, Misty Plowright handily won her primary to be the Democratic nominee to run against Republican Rep. Doug Lamborn, who similarly appears to be a tough candidate to beat.

Gee, was Archie Bunker prescient years ago, when he sang of a time when “gals were gals and men were men”???
Holy smokes we have moved far beyond issues of “gay” sexual identity/orientation.
And the media will dutifully refer to both of
these men as women. Count on it. Media will also do puff pieces pushing the historic nature of these candidacies.
And when they lose their elections, the media and liberals will blame it on transphobia.
The democrat nominee in Alaska is a Transkimo.
Fantastic. I just spewed my lunch all over my car dashboard.
Yikes!!
I knew a stripper once who called herself Misty Meaner. Never grab the tail of a rattlesnake, my friends.
Yes, what are the odds. Bizarre!
They always seem to pick unambiguously girlie names, to overcompensate for the truth.
You’ll never see a male to “female” named “Pat.”
“While I’m not running on the basis of being a trans woman”
Get treatment.
but which toilets will they have to use !!!????
The media is making a big deal about Misty. Mike Lee will win by 70% to 30%.
That’s great! They should run drag queens in every district, because outside of maybe San Francisco, none can win.
It’s not about being politically capable on the liberal side , it’s about “We need one”.
Thus confirming what conservative men have said all along about liberal men.
You think 30% of Utahns will vote for a tranny? I think it will be more like 95% to 5%.
If shim hasn’t legally changed name, what name will appear on the ballot?
“Vote for me! Ive got bigger balls than Mike Lee!”
Have, or used to have?
(NEWS) - Today, Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) picked out new curtains for his Senate office. “These ought to last another six years.”
