Despite the fact that over 50% of African Americans live in the South, the Democratic Party is slow or late to support Black candidates in Southern states (unless they are running in “minority” districts).
All three candidates below demonstrate appeal across racial lines. All three candidates are in Southern states with high percentages of Black voters compared to many other states (Louisiana 33% and Georgia 25%).
All candidates give momentum to Kerry within their respective states, because they motivate core Democrats to help get out the vote.
With victories in November, each of these candidates will make history. For Southerners. For Democrats and progressives. For African Americans. For America.

U.S. SENATE
State Rep. Arthur Morrell (D) faces Republican David Vitter and two Republican-lite Democrats Chris John and John Kennedy in Louisiana’s open primary on November 2. The top 2 candidates compete in a December runoff.
Morrell is only true Democrat in this primary. Veteran of Special Forces. Champion of Voting Rights. Former state director of Dean for America.
Morrell is 100% socially progressive and fiscally responsible. He will fight for Democratic values in the Senate unlike none other.
