Ex-MMA Fighter Sharice Davids Could Become the First Lesbian Native American Congresswoman

Sharice Davids, Kansas’ first openly gay, Native American nominee for Congress, was on her way to the hospital on Wednesday morning when she learned of her victory in the state’s third district Democratic primary.

After a long night of waiting for the final results on Tuesday, Davids had woken up early to visit two of her campaign staffers — Danielle and Cole Robinson — and meet their day-old baby daughter. Davids arrived at the hospital just after learning the results, and shared those first triumphant moments with a newborn child — aptly named Nina Sharice.
