The Most Diverse Senate Field Ever

“There are already at least five major Democratic candidates of color running for U.S. Senate in 2016, a significant boost in diversity to a group that has traditionally been overwhelmingly white,” the Huffington Post reports.

“These numbers are likely to change before the general election. People are still jumping into races, and some of the candidates have to go through tough primaries that could knock them out the race. But a win by any of these women would be significant — it would double the number of women of color in the Senate.”
