All five out cisgender queer women currently serving in the U.S. House of Representatives helped lead Team Congress to victory at this week’s annual Congressional Women’s Softball Game, raising hundreds of thousands of dollars for charity in the process.

Out Reps. Angie Craig (D-MN), Sharice Davids (D-KS), Julie Johnson (D-TX), Emily Randall (D-WA), and Becca Balint (D-VT) were among the bipartisan members of Congress who played on the 2025 team Wednesday night against the Bad News Babes, a team made up of members of the media. Team Congress took home the win, their first since 2022 and, according to Randall, only their second in 15 years.
