In fact, no Black candidate has won statewide office in Mississippi in the 140 years since Reconstruction. When it comes to the Mississippi Supreme Court, in particular, only four Black people have ever served — and never more than one at a time. Unlike other positions, these justices were never elected, but appointed by the governor.

But now, a recent court order may help expand Black representation on the state’s high court

My name is Conrad Cable. I am the farmer from Farmerville! I’m running for Congress because working folks are working harder than ever and getting back less and less.

I’m not just running because Mike Johnson’s authoritarian theocracy represents a danger to democracy—but there’s that.

My profile has the link to my website, social medias and YouTube. Our first campaign ad is live, and I hope you will watch my announcement speech.

This fight against tyranny will take all of us. I hope you will support our campaign because I believe that organized people beat organized money!

AMA CONCLUDED I'm Lindsey Dougherty, VCU researcher who manages million-dollar budgets by day, and I’m running to flip Virginia's 75th blue! AMA!

231 Upvotes

Hey r/VoteDEM, I'm Lindsey Dougherty, and I'm running to flip Virginia's 75th District! I'm a Senior Research Administrator at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) supporting innovations that drive Virginia's economy, mom to two public school kids (Grayson, 14, and Brianna, 9), and married to Navy veteran Brent.

I'm running to flip Virginia’s 75th District in the House of Delegates, because I've lived the challenges facing working families, navigating expensive healthcare, fighting for quality education, and watching federal cuts threaten the research jobs that keep roofs over heads and food on tables. We need leaders in Richmond who understand these daily struggles.

In my role at VCU, I support key research initiatives that drive innovation and economic growth across the Commonwealth. I know firsthand how detrimental the recent federal cuts to research projects and jobs will be for our families to afford to keep a roof over their heads and food on their tables. I've also managed multi-million dollar budgets for Chesterfield County government, so I know how to stretch public dollars to serve communities.

This race matters! New district maps have created a real opportunity to flip this seat blue. While federal politics feels like chaos, state government can deliver on education funding, healthcare access, and economic opportunity for Virginia families.

Excited to answer your questions!
