Decision Makers: Delaware Representative Kendra Johnson On How Blue State Legislatures Will Adapt To A Very Red Washington
What are Black state legislators hearing from constituents as the most pressing issues in their communities and neighborhoods, especially after going through a historic and contentious national election. What are those top issue priorities for legislators as they head into fresh new sessions?
How much does the disruption in D.C. factor into that calculus, especially for Black lawmakers in a politically blue state like Delaware? How can a state legislature adapt to an uncertain political climate. This segment, Decision Makers talks with conversation with Delaware state Representative Kendra Johnson, who oversees the First State's 5th legislative District and serves as Chair of the Delaware Legislative Black Caucus. She joins us as part of our continuing Decision Makers: State Legislator Communities of Color series, which we do often in partnership with the Council of State Governments Eastern region.
