Presidential candidate Beto O’Rourke has brought onboard one of the architects of his Senate race to his campaign team in efforts to reach black voters.
MIAMI — In his race last year to unseat Sen. Ted Cruz, Beto O’Rourke saw remarkable support from African-Americans in Texas. Statewide 89 percent of black voters — including 94 percent of back women — supported O’Rourke’s bid.
“Beto’s vision, dedication, and willingness to speak up for all Americans is what drew so many of us to him to him over the years,” said Wilhite in an emailed statement. “So proud to once again work for a candidate who has solutions for some of the greatest challenges we face while bringing people together and refusing to let our differences divide us.”
Challenging odds are not stopping O’Rourke, who, just concluding a swing through the crucial early primary state of South Carolina, is building his national profile with a handful of staff additions to his policy shop. An augmented team, assembled after criticism that O’Rourke’s campaign had more style than substance, will tackle issues such as climate change, reproductive rights and more, according to a Politico report.
