Who are the Black Republicans running for Congress in 2022? Our research provides a systematic analysis of Black Republican candidates running for the U.S. House of Representatives compared to their Democratic challengers and a matched sample of 2022 White Republican candidates. Using candidate profiles and content analysis of campaign websites our analysis tests several hypotheses, including Dougan’s (2020) racial distancing, theory, Johnson’s (2022) social movement theory and Rigour’s (2015) theory of opportunity.
