We may have at least 4 Black Republicans in the House come January, so she won’t be alone. Besides Mayor Love, Mayor Vernon Parker in Arizona should be the other new member elected this year (joining Tim Scott of SC and Col. Allen West in FL). The future Congresswoman Love should have a very bright future ahead of her.
Tim Scott will be reelected in a landslide; Allen West will be reelected by a 5%-10% margin; and Mia Love will win by a 3%-7% margin. As for Vernon Parker, I’d say that he has about even odds of winning, and it should be a 1%-2% race either way; hopefully he’ll be the fourth black Republican in the House. It will be the first time the GOP will have for black U.S. Representatives since 1877.
