Transsexual Seeks GOP Nomination For Minnesota Legislature
(Minneapolis, Minnesota) Chrissy Nakonsky is hoping to become the first transsexual elected to a state legislature.
Nakonsky who was married before she transitioned and remains with her wife has two children. She is seeking the Republican nomination in Brainerd.
"I've voted Republican all my life," Nakonsky told the Star Tribune newspaper. "Republicans swear by not raising taxes, and raising taxes would hurt families in poverty, like mine."
