How We Helped 4 Black Candidates Win
On the heels of Donald Trump’s first 100 days in office, black candidates are on their way to becoming new mayors. Yvette Simpson of Cincinnati, OH; Jamael Brown of Youngstown, OH; and Chokwe Lumumba of Jackson, MS all won close mayoral races on Tuesday, along with Carla Baldwin winning her judicial race in Youngstown.
The Collective PAC was excited to endorse these candidates because they represent the best and brightest our community has to offer. Their fresh perspectives on addressing the needs of their cities is the kind of leadership we’re looking for on every level, and our members stepped up in a big way.
On election day, Collective PAC volunteers spoke with and drove 7,021 black voters in Cincinnati, Jackson and Youngstown to the polls to support our candidates. Although voter turnout ranged from 12% in Cincinnati to 19% in Youngstown, we were able to make a difference at the margins on behalf of our candidates.
