Earlier this month, I had the privilege of joining a Breakfast Reception sponsored by the DPO Black Caucus to welcome CNN news analyst, author and former South Carolina Representative Bakari Sellers, to Portland for a one-of-a-kind Get Out the Vote Rally with Secretary of State Candidate, State Treasurer Tobias Read. Bakari Sellers, a young Black man, still holds the record of being the youngest person ever elected to the U.S. House of Representatives at the age of twenty-two.
