The Governor's Race: Survey of POC Lawmakers

One of the basic best practices of any progressive effort should be to amplify and follow the lead of people of color. In that spirit, I took a quick survey of people of color currently serving in our state legislature, and their pick for governor. Responses were either given directly or are public information.
