Molly Sprayregan reports for LGBTQNation under the headline is "Nevada’s Kimi Cole could be the first out trans statewide official elected in the country." Here's an excerpt:
Nevada Democrat Kimi Cole announced her campaign this week to become the state’s next lieutenant governor.A victory for Cole would make her the first out transgender statewide elected official in the country.Cole is currently the chair of the Nevada Democratic Rural Caucus and before that she was the chair of the Douglas County Democratic Party.
She has devoted her political career to uplifting the voices of rural voters and told Politico that Democrats have a lot to learn when it comes to messaging to rural people.
“Talking points will [often] either come out of Las Vegas or Washington, D.C.,” she said, “and they really don’t connect with rural voters.”
