Mondaire Jones has lost his Democratic primary election to represent New York’s 10th Congressional District.
One of the country’s first openly gay Black members of congress was defeated in the 12-person contest by Daniel Goldman.
Jones came in third in the crowded primary race.
Goldman is expected to win the solidly Democratic seat in November.
Jones was elected in 2020. When they took office in January 2021, he and Rep. Richie Torres (D-NY) become the nation’s first out gay Black members of Congress.
As a member of Congress, Jones was an advocate for LGBTQ rights.
