Transgender woman beats 13-term incumbent who authored bathroom-ban bill and referred to her as 'him' much of the campaign (but she would rather talk about rush hour traffic)
Democrat Danica Roem of Virginia, a former journalist, makes history as the first openly transgender person elected and seated in a state legislature
She defeated 13-term incumbent Bob Marshall, who has been in the legislature since 1992 and authored the state's anti-trans bathroom-ban bill
Roem focused on jobs, schools and, with particular fervor, northern Virginia's traffic congestion in her campaign She lives with her boyfriend, who she has not named, and his 9-year-old child whom she considers her stepdaughter. 'He'll be one of my constituents and I'm not going to attack my constituents,' said Roem after her win Andrea Jenkins became the first openly trans woman of color elected to the city council of a major city when she was elected to represent Ward 8 of Minneapolis
Democrat Danica Roem, a former journalist, is set to make history as the first openly transgender person elected and seated in a state legislature in the United States.
She unseated Republican Del. Bob Marshall, a 13-term incumbent and socially conservative lawmaker who proudly called himself Virginia's 'chief homophobe.'
Roem, 33, openly discussed her gender identity during her campaign, but it was far from her focus.
Instead, she focused on jobs, schools and, with particular fervor, northern Virginia's traffic congestion.
Marshall meanwhile spent the entire campaign referring to Roem as 'him,' but after her win she refused to attack her opponent, saying: 'He'll be one of my constituents and I'm not going to attack my constituents.'

Many Pastors are as corrupt as their congregations are...Worldly Preachers I call them.
Virginia no longer deserves to have monuments to the great men of Washington, Jefferson and Lee. Its been overrun by DC leftists. The western counties should petition to join West Virginia.
If you have sex and the room smells like feces when your done, you’re doin it wrong!
IMHO, “transgender woman,” and, “13 term incumbent,” both have a disturbing ring to them.
I'll be honest the whole "trans" label thing confused me, especially in print. I could never tell if they were talking about a guy that wanted to be a chick, or a chick that wanted to be a guy. That is until someone told me to replace the prefix "trans" with the word "fake" Now I am never confused.
According to the article Marshall was to the right of Trump.
My opinion: massive vote fraud.
If Almighty God has “turned his back” on America, why is Trump President?
Did God speak to you?
You think Rush doesn’t know all that? Maybe you should get a radio talk show.
authored the state’s anti-trans bathroom-ban bill
Rather than anti-trans, I thought the so called bathroom bills were to protect female users of Women’s rooms from package carrying or neutered males who for whatever reason want to have access to women’s restrooms.
If he does, he didn't mention any of it. I'll take bets as to how many people point out the above on Open Line Friday.
Maybe you should get a radio talk show.
Maybe I had one. Maybe I still have one. Why would that matter?
As I said in the end of that post, what happened yesterday is irrelevant in context of the mid-term elections. Those are a year away, a lifetime in political time.
Fair enough.
Well in a sense yes it’s called the Bible and it pretty much is a road map of things to come..Well I can’t say why Trump is President, maybe he is a catalyst to wake the nation up but appears many Americans reject Christ and his teachings...In the last days it states Satan will put blinders on people so they can’t see or hear the truth...
