Gabe Amo was born and raised in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, to parents who immigrated from Ghana and Liberia; his mother is a nurse and his father owns a liquor store.
He graduated from the Moses Brown college preparatory school in Providence and earned a Bachelor of Arts from Wheaton College in Massachusetts, where he studied political science and graduated Phi Beta Kappa and magna cum laude.
A Truman Scholarship and a Marshall Scholarship took him to Merton College, Oxford, where he studied comparative social policy.
Amo volunteered on Sheldon Whitehouse's 2006 U.S. Senate campaign and Barack Obama's 2008 presidential campaign, then worked in the Obama administration's Office of Public Engagement and Intergovernmental Affairs as a liaison to governors and other state officials.
He was a national political coordinator for Obama's 2012 re-election campaign, served as Governor Gina Raimondo's principal advisor on outreach to local government, business and faith communities, and was a senior advisor on her 2018 re-election campaign.
After working on Joe Biden's 2020 campaign and transition team, he became special assistant and deputy director of the White House Office of Intergovernmental Affairs.
Amo left the White House to run in the 2023 special election for Rhode Island's 1st district after incumbent David Cicilline announced his resignation.
He won the Democratic primary in September 2023 and the general election on November 7, becoming the first person of color elected to represent Rhode Island in Congress, and was sworn in on November 13, 2023. On November 5, 2024, he won re-election, defeating Republican Allen Waters 63% to 32%.
In the 119th Congress he serves on the Budget, Foreign Affairs, and Science, Space, and Technology committees and is ranking member of the Subcommittee on Environment.
Gabe Amo is the Democratic incumbent in Rhode Island's 1st congressional district, which encompasses the eastern portion of the state, including Pawtucket, Woonsocket, Newport and much of Providence. Re-elected with 63.0% of the vote in 2024, he ran unopposed in the 2026 Democratic primary, receiving 56,255 votes. In the general election on November 3, 2026, Amo faces Republican Kellie Keenan, an entrepreneur who was unopposed for the Republican nomination.
