My friend and fellow Congressional Black Caucus member Emilia Sykes is fighting to hold the line.
Friend,
Ohio’s 13th Congressional District is one of the toughest, most expensive battlegrounds in the country — and right now, my friend and fellow Congressional Black Caucus member Emilia Sykes is fighting to hold the line.
My friend and colleague Emilia Sykes.
In 2024, the GOP spent millions trying to take her down.
But Emilia — a trailblazer and the first Black woman under 30 to serve in Ohio’s legislature — knows how to win tough fights. She’s brought millions of federal dollars home, delivered for working families, and proven herself as a battle-tested leader.
But the attacks aren’t stopping. The GOP has already set its sights on flipping OH-13, and we cannot let them succeed.
As a Black woman in Congress, I know the unique challenges we face — and the stakes couldn’t be higher for keeping effective leaders like Emilia in Washington.
Yvette Clarke is the ONLY Black woman representing New York in Washington. As Chair of the Congressional Black Caucus, she’s brought together moderates and progressives to pass legislation that helps communities of color, low-income families, immigrants, and more.
