All 9 LGBTQ House members projected to win reelection
While many U.S. House races are still too early to call and control of the chamber remains in limbo, the nine openly LGBTQ members, all Democrats, either won reelection or were projected to win as of Wednesday morning.
The contests were called for U.S. Reps. Mark Pocan (Wis.), Becca Balint (Vt.), and Ritchie Torres (N.Y.), whose seats were considered safe, and for U.S.
Reps. Angie Craig (Minn.), Sharice Davids (Kan.), Chris Pappas (N.H.), and Eric Sorensen (Ill.), who were heavily favored to win but faced slightly more competitive races.
U.S. Reps. Mark Takano and Robert Garcia of California were lapping their Republican opponents by double-digit margins, with just over half of the votes counted in their respective congressional districts by Wednesday morning.
