This summer, Democrats elected Erika Washington, an African-American woman, to CCDP’s number two spot. One of her jobs was to fill CCDP’s Political Organizing Committee, which works on voter outreach and mobilization. Washington selected three African-American women

The Right Take: Roberson launches anti-sanctuary cities initiative

On Monday, a pac chaired by Sen. Majority Leader Michael Roberson filed an initiative to amend Nevada’s constitution to prevent sanctuary cities. The initiative would prevent Nevada elected officials from enacting a law that “prohibits, limits or discourages cooperation” with the enforcement of U.S. immigration laws.
