I am a huge advocate of qualified transpeople running for and getting elected to public office, and I want to see more run for office and win.
That doesn't extend to right-wing trans candidates for public office.
Karen Kerin ran for Congress in 2000 as a Republican in Vermont and is now making a fourth run for attorney general after failed runs in 2004, 2006 and 2008.
