The first openly gay Republican elected to Congress said he won a Long Island House seat by running a “common sense” platform.
George Santos noted the historic nature of his candidacy during an interview with the Post on Wednesday.
“I kept my message true to the people,” he said.
Santos will become the first openly gay Republican elected to the House — a handful of other candidates came out after they were elected.
“It’s a different world and we’re better for it,” Santos said.

Santos, 34, will succeed retiring Democratic Rep. Tom Suozzi in the 3rd Congressional District that covers the island’s North Shore and parts of Queens.
“I will govern and deliver results for all the people — those who voted for me and those who didn’t,” he said.
His priorities include pushing for more funding for the NYPD and Nassau Police Department, supporting legislation banning individual stock transactions by members of Congress and advocating for oil drilling to help make America energy independent. *** Santos was one of 11 GOP congressional candidates from New York who won their races, a pick up of four seats and helping Republicans secure control of the House of Representatives. ***

Is he gay gay, or just gay?
Does it matter-he won!
Top 3 priorities are dealing with NY crime, a ban on stock trading by Congressional members, and a start up of additional oil drilling for energy independence. I can support that.
Gotta say, Trump’s appointment of Richard Grenell was a home run.
Are you asking for, “a friend?” Wink, wink, nudge, nudge. Say no more!
I heard Long Island was a clean sweep.
NY was bright spot and saved the House for us.
I went to HS and univ with gay people. I worked with gay people. Some were good friends of mine. I DON’T CARE WHAT PEOPLE DO IN THEIR PERSONAL LIVES. I sure do care if they are creepy people that want to degrade our culture.
I’d love to see Grenell run as POTUS.
I am not a fan of the homos but hate rats much more not close
Yup—NY Republicans are tough and made it happen this year.
You know, for such a horrid GOP election, I keep reading about Republicans who won in blue states. Just saying.
A “different world,” yes but not better, it is abominable.
The gay world is twisted, evil and abominable sin.
Does he represent the Fire Island District?
I just puked
His opponent was also gay. One of them said that was about the only thing they had in common.
Bloated government needs to be dismantled. That is the "results" Americans want.
I don’t care what he does in private, I would be happy to buy him a drink any time!
Linda Graham says hello, boys.
