Tomorrow, May 10th, is West Virginia’s primary election, with polls open from 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.

There are some significant changes because of redistricting, but a record number of Black candidates are running across the state too!

BBG will look at the primary winning candidates in our Juneteeth issue. We invite you to send us your opinion pieces and story ideas before May 15th.

As we wait for the primary results, BBG invites you to reflect on last year’s Washington Post article by Clyde McGrady on the power of Black voters in West Virginia.
