Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-NY)

Congressman Ritchie Torres was born and raised in the Bronx. Raised by a single mother in public housing, he is the first openly-LGBTQ elected official from the Bronx and was the youngest member of the New York City Council where he served from 2013-2020.

He serves on the Financial Services Committee where he will oversee the Department of Housing and Urban Development, which has jurisdiction over the nation’s public housing authorities. He is excited to be a part of this exclusive committee and to bring his Bronx roots to the halls of Congress.
