This article contains dynamic lists that may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by editing the page to add missing items, with references to reliable sources.

This is a list of openly transgender, intersex, and nonbinary officeholders by office in the United States. The first openly trans public officeholder in the United States was Joanne Conte, elected to Arvada, Colorado's City Council in 1991.

As of January 2025, the highest-ranking public official is Sarah McBride, who represents Delaware's at-large congressional district in the United States House of Representatives. The highest ranking appointed official was Rachel Levine, who was an Assistant Secretary for Health from 2021 to 2024.

This list is arranged chronologically by politicians' first years in each office. Some officeholders listed were not elected while out as trans, and either came out or were outed at a later date.

Background

[edit]

As of 2021, 77 trans, non-binary, intersex, and genderqueer officials served in public elected positions.[1] This represented a nearly fivefold increase from 2018, when only 16 openly trans individuals had been elected to office in the United States.[2] On November 7, 2017, eight trans individuals were elected to public office. This is the most trans individuals elected to office in a single day.[3]
