Ritchie Torres and Mondaire Jones make history as the first openly gay black members of congress.
Democratic Reps. elect Ritchie Torres and Mondaire Jones made history Tuesday 03 October 2020 night, becoming the first openly gay Black men elected to Congress.
Both New Yorkers will enter the House in January. In June, Jones won the primary to replace retiring Rep. Nita Lowey in New York’s 17th District, and Torres won the primary to replace retiring Rep. José Serrano in the 15th District. Decision Desk HQ declared that both men will win those races Tuesday night.
