I'm editor of an online publication focusing on Tennessee politics and policy called the Tennessee Lookout. I'm working on a story about Sen. Harris' selection as Joe Biden's running mate and reaching out to Black women and women of color in public office to get your reactions. Would you be willing to respond with a statement on what this means to Black women in public office, young Black women interested in running or office, or your personal thoughts? I'd appreciate a response by 4 p.m. EDT today, if possible.
