U.S. Rep. Gabe Amo, the first Black representative in Congress from Rhode Island, won reelection on Tuesday.
Amo said he was honored to have been “overwhelmingly elected” by voters to serve “as their voice in Washington.” Waters campaigned on his support for gun rights, ending government-backed student loans for college and a promise to “clean up the swamp of poorly managed government departments” like the Department of Veterans Affairs.
Amo went to Wheaton College and studied public policy at Oxford University, and he has said he was inspired by his parents’ drive. His mother studied nursing and his father opened a liquor store in part so he could be his own boss.
