Candidates of Color Representing White Districts

Astead W. Herndon's article for The New York Times titled “The Districts Are Mostly White. The Candidates Are Not”  looks at how many candidates running in this year’s state elections are people of color representing majority-white districts. He unpacks the racial dynamics between candidates and their constituencies, the historical representation of gerrymandered districts, and whether these candidates are being seriously considered on merit rather than race.

This segment is guest hosted by Duarte Geraldino.
