#OnThisDay In 1993, Barbra Kavanaugh is elected to Buffalo Common Council, becoming its first openly gay member. Kavanaugh dedicated her life to civil service in Buffalo and beyond, later working in New York State’s Supreme Court and Attorney General office in the years to come.

Barbra serves as a role model and reminder to always follow your dreams and goals, no matter what may stand in your way.
