A two-tour veteran of the Iraq War and graduate of West Point and Harvard University,Anthony Woods, 29, enjoys a solid resume that would make him a good candidate for public office.
But if you have heard of Woods, who is seeking election to Congress from California's 10th House District, it likely has little to do with his impressive credentials.
Woods has gained notoriety because he is the first openly gay black man to run for Congress.
His run for office has drawn parallels to the story of Harvey Milk, the first openly gay man to be elected to a public office in California. In 1978, Milk and San Francisco Mayor George Moscone were assassinated by Dan White, another city supervisor who had recently resigned but wanted his job back.
