The South isn’t unwinnable. It’s underfunded.

Jon Ossoff had $100 million in Georgia. Jamie Davis raised $7 million in Louisiana.

What could Black candidates across the South accomplish with even half that investment? Georgia is proof of the results that become possible with investment.

We’ve shown what’s possible with less. Imagine what we could do with more.

My conversation with @joyreidofficial.

A year ago, I said Mississippi and Louisiana could be competitive with real investment. Turns out, I was right.

Now the country is talking about @scott_colom in Mississippi, while @jamieforlouisiana came within 25,000 votes in Louisiana.

I made the case directly to DNC Chair Ken Martin in April, after raising the same concerns on @joyannreid.

The Deep South doesn’t lack voters. It lacks investment.

Maybe it’s time national leadership started listening to Black folks on the ground who know what they’re talking about.

Support Civics for the People through the link in my bio. We’re building political power with or without them.

Too radical. Too boring. Too country. Which flavor of Black is good enough to get funded?

Every time a Black candidate runs statewide in Louisiana, somebody has an excuse for why they can’t win. Meanwhile, the grassroots are doing the work while the people with the resources sit on the sidelines.

@jamieforlouisiana showed Louisiana what’s possible without the support he deserved. Imagine what could happen if we invested in the South before Election Day instead of making excuses afterward.

I told @joyannreid, we don’t have to wait on the Democratic Party. We have to organize, invest, and hold our own leadership accountable.

Now Hillar Moore is blaming New Orleans for the crime in East Baton Rouge parish. He is full of excuses and lacks results of making our community safer.

Send a loud message that our community can be safe with new leadership. Vote for @ryankeiththompson before 8p today.
