Dr. Drew Montez Clark is one of over 80 Black Republicans running for congress in 2022, which is a record-setting amount according to the Washington Post and could help reshape the Congressional Black Caucus, moving it away from becoming a Democrat-only (and far left) political apparatus in the United States Congress.
Clark is hoping to take on incumbent Congresswoman Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, who ran unsuccessfully against longtime incumbent South Florida Congressman Alcee Hastings before ultimately winning a special election to fill the vacancy in Florida’s 20th congressional district late last year. She was supported by the AOC-linked Brand New Congress organization, which has pushed to defund the police, social and racial justice legislation that is rooted in race-baiting ideals that pit people of color against white Americans, and of course the insanely costly Green New Deal.
Cherfilus-McCormick also campaigned on the socialist policy of Universal Basic Income and Medicare for All, which would not only worsen the effects of inflation that Americans are currently facing, but increase the federal deficit by trillions and the annual federal tax burden on tens of thousands of small business owners and tens of millions more middle class Americans.
Given the consistent increase in voter turnout of Black Americans casting their ballot for Republican candidates since President Trump’s historic 2016 campaign and 2020 re-election bid, Democrat heavy Black congressional districts like the one Cherfilus-McCormick represents are becoming increasingly more competitive for Black Republicans who decided to throw their hat in the ring and run for elected office.
