Friends,
Our mission at ASPIRE has always been to create a Congress that looks more like the people it represents. Now, not only are more diverse candidates winning state and local elections -- they’re among the top candidates for vice president.
Women of color had unprecedented victories this month, sweeping state primaries and mayoral races. One such victor, mayor-elect of Ferguson Ella Jones, was celebrated by none other than Barack Obama -- who called her win “a reminder of the difference politics and voting can make in changing who has the power to make real change.”
And now, calls are mounting for Joe Biden to pick a woman of color to join him in the executive branch. Do you think the Democratic nominee should rise to the historic occasion? Tell us your view:
