Happy Friday. It’s also Veteran’s Day in the U.S. and Remembrance Day in Canada. Sending gratitude to all service members and their families.
As promised, I caught up yesterday with Jamal R. Watkins, the NAACP’s senior vice president of strategy and advancement, who looked remarkably fresh after a long week of midterm drama. While the “red wave” didn’t happen, the typical flipping of political power away from the party in the executive branch didn't either. It was an affirmation of the times, he said. “I think voters were sick and tired of voter suppression, January 6th [the attack on the U.S. Capitol], and all that." And now, referring to the close races and potential runoff in Georgia, “we have options.”
