Jaelynn Scott is set to become Washington’s first openly transgender legislator after sailing through last week’s primary.

She also could be one of only two members of the Democratic Socialists of America in the Legislature.

“I think it’s important that people see themselves in me, and the fact that they can run and they can win,” Scott said.

She feels being the first is a “heavy burden.”

“You sometimes feel like you have a weight on your shoulder because you’re carrying the sort of hopes, dreams, wishes, concerns,” Scott said.

“I don’t want to do it alone for long, and so I need people to join me,” she added.
