As ballots continue to be counted, Black candidates across California are showing strong performances in the Nov. 5, 2024, General Election.
Although the results are still unofficial, the leads held by many Black candidates suggest they are likely to secure positions in Congress, the State Senate, and the Assembly, where they aim to represent the needs and priorities of Black communities statewide. Key issues such as housing, healthcare, public safety, reparations, and economic reform have emerged as major themes in this year’s campaigns.
