'Unapologetically progressive': Karen Carter Peterson fights to become first Black woman Louisiana sends to Congress
CNN
Karen Carter Peterson wants to make history.
The longtime Louisiana state senator is vying for the open seat once held by Cedric Richmond -- one that would propel her to become the first Black woman to represent the state in Congress. "When women are not at the table and seated, we are typically on the menu," Peterson, 51, told CNN in an interview. "I don't like that we've never had an African American woman serve from Louisiana in our congressional delegation. That needs to end."More Related News
