Daily News | Philly’s Black Republican ward leaders: ‘I know it’s an uphill battle, but my role is to engage’
Republican ward leaders reconsidered the endorsement and Jenkins Goggins, now deceased, and she withdrew complaining, “The Philadelphia Republican Party is not ready at this time to support a minority candidate. They have no plan on how to embrace and move into the minority community.”
Being a Black Republican was once the norm. The party of President Abraham Lincoln was considered the more humanitarian option as freed slaves exercised their right to vote. “As Martin Luther King said, we are integrating but we are integrating into a burning house,” Rose said. For 22nd Ward leader Calvin Tucker, being the state GOP deputy chairman and director of engagement and advancement makes him the highest appointed Republican in the state. He pointed to the recently opened Republican Engagement Center in Germantown and the 4% increase in Black support for Trump between his first and second election as a sign that the Republican Party is serious about increasing the number of minority voters.
