Dozens of Black Democratic candidates are seeking office in heavily Republican states that former President Trump won easily in 2020. They include Chris Jones, who will likely face former Trump spokeswoman Sarah Sanders in the Arkansas governor’s race.
Hofmeister “is not coming to any Black Lives Matter protests,” said Joshua Harris-Till, a Black party organizer and candidate for a U.S. House seat. “We’re probably not going to see her veto legislation like some of these insane gun bills. We’re not going to see her championing the right of women to choose.”
Sanders’ campaign didn’t respond to a request for comment on Jones’ remark, and has essentially ignored him and her other rivals for governor. The notion that Jones’ candidacy will boost Democrats is met with skepticism in Arkansas. The state’s last Democratic governor, Mike Beebe, won all 75 counties in 2010, but the party’s last nominee won less than a third of the vote.
Parry, however, noted that such races could help build a bench of candidates and expand the electorate as the state’s demographics change.
