Rosemary Ketchum never wanted to run for office. However, when she looked around her community of Wheeling, West Virginia, she saw work to be done. Today she shares her story with us, starting with her work in mental health leading up to her historic win in her state. Along the way we touch on the difference between ignorance and bigotry, the recent historic rulings and what they mean for trans people in the workplace, and the surprising realities of campaigning in a state like West Virginia. You don't want to miss this amazing conversation with the brilliant councilwoman Rosemary Ketchum. You can follow Rosemary on Instagram @rosemaryketchum, and on Twitter @RosemaryKetchum.
