Danica Roem's Advice For Anyone Who Wants To Make A Difference
Danica Roem made headlines when she became the first transgender American to be elected to a state legislature. Now she's ready to focus the momentum that propelled her to victory into improving Virginia's infrastructure.
On January 10, 2018, Roem will be sworn into the Virginia General Assembly. She says she's ready to hit the ground running on issues from health care to transportation.
When asked what advice she would give to other people who want to get involved in public service, Roem says you just have to be yourself. There are other people out there who want you to succeed just because of who you are.

The federal judge assigned to the election fraud case against former President Donald Trump has stood out as one of the toughest punishers of rioters who stormed the U.S. Capitol in an attack fueled by Trump's baseless claims of a stolen election. She has also ruled against him before.
