In historic primary win, Amo is Democratic nominee in R.I.’s First Congressional District
The Boston Globe reported on Democrats Serve PAC’s endorsement of Gabe Amo for Congress in Rhode Island’s 1st Congressional District.
Here’s an excerpt:
“Former White House aide Gabe Amo has won the Democratic primary in Rhode Island’s First Congressional District, according to the Associated Press, setting him up to potentially become the first person of color to represent Rhode Island in Congress.”
“With 100 percent of polling places reporting, Amo led an 11-candidate Democratic field with 32.5 percent of the vote, leading former state representative J. Aaron Regunberg with 24.9 percent, state Senator Sandra C. Cano with 13.8 percent, and Lieutenant Governor Sabina Matos with 8 percent, according to the state Board of Elections.”
“Brett Broesder, the founding executive director of the Democrats Serve PAC that backed Amo, issued a statement saying, “His story is one that all Rhode Islanders can be proud of, and Democrats Serve is honored to have supported the best candidate in this race to the fullest extent possible. Like his many supporters, we cannot wait to see what Gabe does next!”
