I'm Ritchie Torres, raised in Bronx public housing, and I became the first openly gay Afro-Latino elected to Congress. This is my official campaign account.
Everything is on the ballot. From our democracy to women's and LGBTQ+ rights.

Marjorie Taylor Greene is threatening New York’s federal funding because a NY jury convicted Donald Trump of 34 "fake" felonies.
"I'm not going to give a single effing penny."
MTG is a joke and doesn't control funding for our state — never did and never will.
And to you, MTG,

I went on Fox News so people could hear the facts:
Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans have spent years fearmongering about immigration but have no interest in solving the problem.
There's only one party that has a bipartisan compromise on border security.
It's the Democrats.

President Biden is 81 and Donald Trump turns 78 this week. This isn't about age — it’s about their records.
Despite the hyper-polarized political climate, Joe Biden will go down in history as one of the most productive, bipartisan, and effective presidents.

Donald Trump is right now holding a rally in my district.
His presidency was a catastrophe for the Bronx. His mismanagement of COVID resulted in more deaths than Pearl Harbor and 9/11 combined.
Donald Trump should apologize to the people of the Bronx rather than hold a rally.

Convicted felon Donald Trump is right: people are losing trust in our justice system.

Eric Trump goes on Fox News, echoing his father's narcissistic cries of a witch hunt. He lies to the American people to sow distrust in our legal system in case of a guilty verdict by the jury.
He’s lying: Not even 1% of NYC was shut down on this regular, beautiful, sunny day in

Samuel Alito's legacy on the Supreme Court is homophobia and bigotry, and now his wife is being exposed as a homophobe and a bigot. Does it shock you?
The MAGA Republican judicial project seeks to bring America backwards. We cannot let them win.

Donald Trump wants you to believe he has massive support in the Bronx.
Yesterday, amid a torrential downpour that can only be described as nature's response to his arrival, I brought together a coalition of my constituents to deliver a stern message.
Donald Trump, you're fired!

Two years ago today, right-wing political activists on the Supreme Court rolled back the clock on the right to reproductive freedom by overturning Roe v. Wade.

Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans want to impose the most severe cuts to nutritional assistance in nearly 30 years.
President Biden saved lives in the Bronx by capping the price of insulin at $35 a month and cutting child poverty in half.

Donald Trump was here in the Bronx, the district I'm proud to represent, deceptively marketing himself as a friend of communities of color.

Congratulations to my friend,
@SarahEMcBride
!
The best representative of the LGBTQ+ community is an LGBTQ+ elected official.
Sarah’s candidacy is a huge statement and pushback on the culture wars that the Republicans have been waging.
Democratic Delaware state Sen. Sarah McBride moves one step closer to making history as the first openly transgender member of Congress.

Right now, at Donald Trump’s rally in my district in the Bronx, he is fear-mongering endless lies and stoking needless division in our city.
He falsely claimed that NY laws allow people who kill someone to go free without bail.
Trump has never obeyed or known our city’s laws.

He was too young to legally buy cigarettes or alcohol but old enough to buy an AR-15-style weapon.
I send love to the families of the 19 precious children and 2 educators who were killed in Uvalde 2 years ago.
I'm honoring the victims by continuing to fight for strict gun laws.

My fight against Trump's war on the working class is nothing new. Back in 2017, soon after Trump entered the White House, I was arrested protesting his efforts to cut funding for federal housing programs for working-class Americans.
From 2017 to 2024 -- the message is the same.

When we have a trans member looking the GOP in the eye, confronting them with the reality of their bigotry, it will make dehumanization & demonization far more complicated.
