Sylvia Swayne, a 26-year-old member of the Jefferson County Democratic Executive Committee, is looking to become Alabama's first transgender state representative. She's already made history as the first out transgender candidate, according to Teen Vogue. According to unofficial results reported by The Birmingham Times, Swayne secured 21.45 percent of the vote share in a seven-candidate primary race for House District 55. The district encompasses parts of Birmingham. No one outright won the election, so a runoff will take place on October 24.
