In the 28thLD, the Republican State Senate incumbent, Steve O’Ban has been running a campaign shamelessly assisted by racist dogwhistles. In the summer, his supporterssent out mailersthat deliberately darkened the skin of his opponent, our friend,T’wina Nobles. Just this past week, at the Thursday phonebanks that we have been promoting, we learned that the Republican campaign has been spreading falsehoods about her having a criminal record; again a bigoted smear.
If you are fed up with these types of racist tactics and are motivated to fight them, I hope you join me in supporting T’wina’s GOTV phonebank efforts every Thursday from 5 – 7:30pm. Last week, our efforts focused on reaching friendly Democratic voters and reminding them to vote, so every connection we can make is a vote we need to bank. She beat O’Ban by only 235 votes out of 44,000+ in the August primary, and she needs our help to claim victory in November.
