I reported a while back on Paula Overby, running to represent Minnesota in the US House or Representatives. In fact, I recall I made a stupid comment about Ms. Overby not smiling in her photos, wanting her to show she was happy, and she called me on the carpet just a little – and rightfully so.

I was just informed of another transgender candidate, Dana Beyer, who is running for the Maryland State Senate. She had her work cut out for her, running against incumbent Senator Richard Madaleno, an openly gay politician who already draws a lot of support from the LGBT community and its allies.

Dana Beyer, Democrat for Maryland Senate.
