Democrats are heavily favored to win both U.S. House seats in Rhode Island in Tuesday's election. Rep. Gabe Amo, the first Black representative in Congress from Rhode Island, is poised to be reelected in the 1st Congressional District. Amo faces Republican challenger Allen Waters and has promised to work on issues ranging from ending gun violence to supporting reproductive freedom and fighting to protect Social Security and Medicare. 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. Last year, Amo beat out a crowded field in a special election to replace Democratic Rep. David Cicilline, who stepped down to lead a nonprofit foundation. Amo has worked as a senior adviser to President Joe Biden. He previously worked in state government and in the White House during the Obama administration. Amo went to Wheaton College
