Black, Female and Republican: Four 2014 GOP Candidates to Know

According to a September article published by the Young Conservatives Blog, there are nearly 25 Black Republicans running for significant national, statewide and major city wide positions. In today's blog, I want to focus on four African-American women running for Republican congressional seats in the respective states. Representing states in the Midwest and South, these women are sure to catch the eyes of many over the next year.  

Some may remember Mia B. Love from her 2012 run or Erika Harold who was crowned Miss America in 2003 and went on to earn a law degree from Harvard University. Both are returning to the limelight as 2014 congressional candidates in what should be a very, very interesting year of politics. Although I am a registered Democrat and supporter of moderate to liberal candidates, I am a firm believer that everyone should do their research and support candidates that share their same beliefs and values. With that said, check out these four candidates below and let me know what you think. There's clearly so much to learn!
