Wow, amazing! And, of course, it had to be #California! nfb.social/@President/11343753…
To my knowledge this is the first time that a blind woman will serve in Congress! Congratulations to Lateefah Simon on being elected to represent California’s 12th Congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives. Representative Simon was born blind and is a fierce advocate for accessible transportation, civil rights, and racial justice. We continue to encourage more blind people to seek elected positions in government.
