Trans woman Pamela Rocker is running for president
Meet Pamela Rocker, a 35-year-old trans woman from Cheviot, Ohio, who announced her campaign earlier this year. A Democrat, she filed her statement of candidacy with the Federal Elections Commission earlier this year.
Rocker — who would be a whole lot of firsts if elected president in 2020, including the first female president, the first trans president, and the first Black woman to be president — told The Cincinnati Enquirer that she was inspired to run by Donald Trump’s win, which she calls “a nightmare,” as well as by Hillary Clinton’s defeat.
"I just didn't want to sit on the sidelines," she said. "I was unhappy with the outcome of the 2016 election. Hillary, she inspired me. She lit something inside me. She opened the door for women and trans women of color to run."
