Five Black women are running for governor, just shy of the 2018 record of six. Between 16 and 20 Black women are currently, or considered potential, Senate candidates, which would break the record of 13 Black women Senate candidates set in 2020, according to the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers University.
“When we talk about where Black women have been successful in statewide contests, it has been outside of the South,” she said. Persistent racism, sexism and the perception that Black women can’t win Republican states have stymied statewide hopefuls in primaries in the past. All three have tapped into energy among grassroots Democratic donors. Their early success has also been years in the making.
“This race has been about building upon relationships that we've long ago established across the state,” Beasley said. “There really are the financial and political barriers that prevent people from running,” Beasley said, later adding, ”We would have more than zero African American women in the Senate if there were no challenges to running.”
This is great. I will vote for them because of their skin color. I think that's the best way to judge someone.
It BETTER change this year. Enough is enough.
Color doesn’t matter, as Americans realize in Biden and Harris polls. Both look bad, really bad.
