Danica Roem, a journalist turned public works advocate, has won Virginia’s 13th District House of Delegates seat, making her the state’s first transgender legislator.

Roem beat out the district’s 26-year incumbent, conservative values and government transparency champion Bob Marshall.

The race attracted national attention as Marshall, a conservative who proposed a bill restricting which bathrooms transgender people could use, faced off against the transgender stepmother who plays in a metal band.

I am sure there were trannies back in Jefferson’s Day too.

He tried out for “Twisted Sister” but did not make it?

Face it, most of Virginia is a DC suburb, and this state is on its way to permanent blueness.

I hope he doesn’t talk about the plugs, steroids, etc.

Move to Texas. Californians are flocking there, and there needs to be a counterbalance.
