Celebrating Juneteenth
June 19, 2020
This year I am commemorating Juneteenth by highlighting the next generation of Black political leadership. I will be making donations to top Black candidates in competitive races and have signed a petition to ask Joe Biden to name a woman of color to be his Vice President. I encourage you to join me if you can.
Candidates include:
State Rep. Charles Booker (D-KY), running for U.S. Senate
Dr. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY), running for U.S. House (NY-16)
Rep. Val Demmings (D-FL), potentially running for VP
Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA), potentially running for VP
Jaime Harrison (D-SC), running for U.S. Senate
Rep. Ayanna Presley (D-MA), one of the “squad”
Rev. Raphael Warnock (D-GA), running for U.S. Senate
Dr. Cameron Webb (D-VA), running for U.S. House (VA-5)
