Americans have elected three Black governors in the nation’s 250-year history. By next week, that figure could multiply.
From Keisha Lance Bottoms in Georgia to Byron Donalds in Florida to David Crowley in Wisconsin, Black candidates are vying to lead eight states from the South to the Midwest to the West. In all, five Democrats are running in gubernatorial races, and three Republicans are vying to be the country’s first elected Black Republican governor.
