The Democratic National Committee voted unanimously on Friday to appoint a long-time New Jersey activist as its first transgender member.
Barbra Casbar-Siperstein is among the six LGBT nominees the DNC approved at a meeting in Austin, Texas. Others include Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers, Victory Fund co-founder Terry Bean and Dallas County [Tex.] sheriff Lupe Valdez. Siperstein, who was also elected vice chair of the DNC's Eastern Regional Caucus, reflected upon her appointment during an interview with EDGE last week.
