## Resource

Rep. Sarah McBride, a Democrat from Delaware and the first openly transgender member of Congress, has introduced more bipartisan legislation than any other freshman. She joined NOTUS’ Oriana González this week and talked about getting Republicans to co-sponsor bills with her, how she decides to weigh in on LGBTQ issues and her current thinking on attending the State of the Union that many Democrats are boycotting. On NOTUS is a production of NOTUS, with marketing and production support from The Podglomerate. You can find more about NOTUS at ⁠⁠notus.com/podcast⁠⁠ and follow us @notusreports. NOTUS is a newsroom like no other: a mix of veteran reporters and editors working with some of the country’s most promising up-and-coming reporters — individuals from different regions, backgrounds and beliefs who have come to Washington as fellows at the Allbritton Journalism Institute. Together, we cover government and politics with the fresh eyes of newcomers and the expertise of veterans. We call it like we see it, no matter whose narrative it fits or how many clicks it will get.
