With Chester being an exception due to our large black republican base, around the country, the republican party has been making strides to identify themselves with conservative minorities.
It started not long after President Obama took office. The Republican National Committee voted Michael Steele (African-American) to head their party.
Does Tuesday’s election wins for minority republicans indicate that we should expect to see more qualified people of color among the republican ranks?
Somebody tell me how to read this new trend...or is it just a flash in the Obama pan?
Here’s a list of republican minority winners on Tuesday:
- Florida Senator: Marco Rubio, Cuban-American.
- South Carolina Governor: Nikki Haley, Indian-American.
- New Mexico Govenor: Susana Martinez, Latina.
- Florida Congressman: Allen West, African-American
- South Carolina Congressman: Tim Scott, African-American.
- Texas Congressman: Bill Flores, Hispanic.
- Washington State Congresswoman: Jaime Herrera, Latina.
By the way, there are no African-Americans in the Senate for either party.
I'm glad that people of color are making political strides. The reason is the Republicans are using propaganda tactics to recruit minorities into their party. They are more willing to fund minorities and support them when it comes to running for office. The Democrats leave you fend for your own. I wanted to run but the only people interested in helping was the Tea Party. I don't agree with the Tea Party and wouldn't side with them just for funding. I'm sure they were the only ones to offer Christine O'Donald help for her campaign. As long as Republicans have the funding, they are going to pull more women and minorities in.
