The bill failed, and now Marshall has, too. On Tuesday, he was defeated in his re-election campaign by Danica Roem. Ironically, Roem is the first-ever openly transgender person in a state legislature and has promised to prioritize health care access, especially for LGBTQ constituents. Of course, she also told Time that local issues will take priority. It’s that balance between good policy and social comeuppance that has won Social’s heart. Roem gets 73 percent positive sentiments online. But it’s important to note that because Roem is a relatively new player on the political stage, it’s possible that her social sentiments are skewed by her supporters. –Hugo Guzman
