WOMEN’S HISTORY MONTH STATEMENT 2023
Jennifer McClellan Wins Special Election in VA-04
On February 21st, State Senator Jennifer McClellan made history in Virginia by becoming the first Black woman to represent the commonwealth in Congress. Her proven track record of enacting progressive change, paired with her experience and passion, will make her a powerful voice in the U.S. House of Representatives.
February Endorsements
During the month of February, The Collective PAC made its first endorsements in the 2023 and 2024 election cycle.
We announced our first municipal endorsements for 2023 with the following candidates: Kesha Hodge Washington running for Phoenix City Council in Arizona; Ce-Ce Gerlach running for re-election to the At-Large seat for Allentown City Council in Pennsylvania; and Dr. Jared Williams running for re-election to the Fort Worth City Council in Texas.
We also endorsed Colonel Pamela Stevenson in her historic bid to become Kentucky's first Black woman Attorney General. With 39 years of legal experience at the local, state, federal and international levels, Col. Stevenson is one of the most qualified candidates to ever seek the office of Attorney General.
Electing a Black woman to the U.S. Senate this cycle remains a top organizational priority, and to that end, The Collective PAC proudly endorsed Congresswoman Barbara Lee from California for the United States Senate, marking our first Senate endorsement of the 2024 election cycle.
Article Spotlight
Black candidates keep losing winnable races — and say the Democratic Party may be why
By Brittany Gibson and Holly Otterbein.
“While there are numerous reasons why none of the Black candidates trying to flip seats won, they’ve gravitated to a common theme, one that’s more personal than a typical after-action campaign report: Black candidates needed more trust — and, with it, funding — from the Democratic Party’s infrastructure.” Read the entire article here.
February in Review
During Super Bowl weekend, The Collective PAC celebrated the historic wins in November with a dinner in Phoenix, Arizona. We were honored to host Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs, Rep. Jamal Bowman, Rep. Marilyn Strickland, Rep. Nikema Williams, Kansas City, Missouri Mayor Quinton Lucas, and Hon. Reggie Bolding. Together we are ready to elect even more Black candidates to office up and down the ballot in 2023 and 2024.
