Question - Coalition for Black Candidates?

Last edited Mon Aug 10, 2020, 02:11 AM - Edit history (7)

I love Emily's List, which always supports pro-choice Democratic women candidates, but when it comes to the black candidates, I only seem to find out about them by chance.

Is there a coalition or PAC that funds them? That would be SO AWESOME.

I am enjoying that my Facebook feed is showing them to me. Each time, I research their races and find out more about them. Here are seven of them.

Jaime Harrison running for Senate in South Carolina

I found all of the Congressional Candidates but Cori Bush on the DCCC website on a "Red to Blue" page, along with about 20 other candidates.

https://redtoblue.dccc.org/

The page allows you to go directly to a candidate's website and donate, to share info on Facebook or Twitter, or donate to several at once through actblue.

I would love to create a website that highlighted just these seven candidates, along with the rest of the CBC incumbents.

I'm tempted to create it, but that would mean creating a PAC, and not cheap, and maybe not worth it this year.
