More Black Women Run for Office, but Prospects Fade the Higher They Go

No Black woman has ever been elected governor and, out of the 22 who have run for the position since 2010, only four have become major-party nominees, according to data compiled by the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers University. All of the nominees have been Democrats." - The New York Times A Tale of 3 Governors
“'Of those three governors, DeSantis has the wind with him,' said John Weingart, director of the Center on the American Governor housed in the Eagleton Institute of Politics at Rutgers University. After Trump, DeSantis is assumed to be 'a strong front-runner to get the Republican nomination.

'These are places they think that Republicans think they have a real shot at — and the reality is that women might not rise up as the obvious candidates.'” - 19th News
