We need new, fresh voices,\u201d Cummings continued. \u201cWe have a lot of queer elected officials now, but we need really, really progressive queer candidates. We need candidates who are going to take us to that next level. New York politics for a long time has been dynasty politics, and we should bring some new people to the table because politics should be open to everybody.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Biden recently made waves by inviting Dylan Mulvaney, a biological man who identifies as a transgender woman, to the White House to discuss\u00a0transgender issues.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Joe Biden invited drag queen Marti G.
