Special Election Won by First Black Republican Elected to Alabama Legislature Since Reconstruction
Kenneth Paschal made history by winning a special general election making him the first black Republican elected to serve in the Alabama state legislature for around 145 years, since the Reconstruction period.
Black Republicans like Mark Robinson, Vernon Jones, and now Kenneth Paschal are starting to become the future of the Republican Party. According to The Patriot Journal:
“History was made Tuesday night in the Alabama legislature as Republican Kenneth Paschal won the special general election for House District 73.
By filling the seat vacated by former representative Matt Fridy, Paschal became the first Black Republican to be elected to the state legislature since the Reconstruction period, which was about 145 years ago. He defeated Democrat Sheridan Black. . .
According to reports, Paschal is a retired soldier who served in the Army for 21 years. It’s not a big surprise patriotic voters elected him.
What should be worrying liberals is [how] Republicans continue to make gains among black Americans.
A record number of black Americans are defecting to the Republican Party. What started with the Trump campaign is continuing throughout the GOP.
And it’s not just black Republicans winning big. In order for that to happen, you need more and more black citizens joining the party.
This, of course, shatters the tired M[ain]S[tream]M[edia] narrative that Republicans are old white men who hate non-whites.”
