Trans candidate wins Democratic Primary for Erie, Penn., county executive

Tyler Titus
Transgender candidate Tyler Titus moved one step closer this week to becoming the first openly trans county executive in the U.S. with a victory in the four-way Democratic Primary race for Erie County, Penn., county executive. Titus, president of the Erie School Board, now faces Republican Brenton Davis in the November general election.
Titus, 36, became the first openly transgender person to win any elected office in Pennsylvania when they won their school board race in 2017.
The LGBTQ Victory Fund, which backed Titus in the race, credited the candidate’s “groundbreaking ad detailing their coming out story, struggles with their identity and their path to public service,” “carefully laid out policy plans addressing everything from increasing broadband access to healthcare reform” and “honesty and transparency [that] resonated with voters” for Titus’ win.
