America’s FIRST Black openly LGBTQ person elected to the United States Congress!!

John, it’s official: Mondaire Jones joins Ritchie Torres in winning tonight and both will become the first Black openly LGBTQ people ever elected to the United States Congress!!

During the primary, Mondaire beat a huge slate of candidates for New York’s 17th Congressional District, including the self-funding son of a pharmaceutical billionaire and a state Senator who proudly caucused with anti-equality state legislators. Victory Fund was proud to be Mondaire's FIRST national endorsement and stand with his campaign when few other orgs thought he could win in such a crowded field.

Mondaire is already using his platform to champion pro-equality causes. We can’t wait to see the work he does in Congress!

Thanks for standing with Mondaire and all our candidates,

And with an unprecedented number of LGBTQ people running for office in this year, we’ll need your support to make 2020 the next Rainbow Wave.
