General Discussion

espeically Black women are the backbone of our party and don't get enough respect or recognition.

Most Democratic candidates are white....around 70% from the sources I was able to find from a quick google and those numbers were from 2024, which is better than the R's 89%.

This is the place I got demographic information from, it was in line with other sources and is easy to read: https://organizations.ballotready.org/research/candidates-by-race

Worked on putting up stuff at our county fair booth yesterday. We've got a wall full of mostly male candidates, all white, but I'm in Iowa and we're in a very white, very rural county (94% white....and only 20k or so people).

And yet, the Democrats in this tiny, white county, skew pretty darned progressive....maybe that's reactive to how nasty the Republicans here tend to be.
