No African Americans in the senate
All three black Senate candidates, Kendrick Meek (D-FL), Alvin Greene (D-SC) and Mike Thurmond (D-GA) are projected to lose tonight, reports CNN. And the only incumbent black senator, Roland Burris (D-IL), is retiring.
Only six black senators have served: three Republicans and three Democrats, including the future President Barack Obama (D-IL).
There have been 118 voting members of Congress who are African American. This year, the GOP has 14 African Americans on the ballot, any one of which could become the first black Republican in the house since 2003.
Blacks in Congress
There are 41 African American Democrats in Congress, most of which are running in majority black districts.
CNN projects Alabama sent its first African American woman to Congress tonight with the election of Democrat Terri Sewell in the state’s 7th district.
