Newly Elected Black Republicans Welcome in CBC

By Zenitha Prince
Washington Bureau Chief
Election Day victories for two Black
Republicans raise a rare question in the House
of Representatives in the 112th Congress:
How will two African-American members
of the Grand Old Party interact with the
Congressional Black Caucus?
Fourteen Black Republicans ran for
Congress in the Nov. 2 midterm elections but,
after all the votes were counted, only Tim
Scott, a South Carolina businessman, and
Allen West, a Florida-based Army veteran of
the Iraq War, will take seats. They are the first
African-American Republicans to be elected
to Congress since 1995.
In an e-mailed statement to the AFRO
CBC Chairwoman Barbara Lee, D-Calif.,
said unequivocally, “Should either of the
two African American Republicans recently
elected to the House of Representatives
request membership in the Congressional
Black Caucus they will be welcomed.”
The decision reflected the sentiments of
an overwhelming majority of AFRO.com poll
voters, who said the men should be admitted.
Allen West, R-Fla, left, and Tim Scott, R-S.C., will come to the House of Representatives as
part of the 112th Congress. How they will fit into the Congressional Black Caucus is an
open question.

invited, J.C. Watts, a Black Republican who
represented Oklahoma from 1995 to 2003,
declined membership. Sen. Edward Brooke,
a Massachusetts Republican who served in
the Senate from 1967 through 1979, was not
publicly invited and refused to join a CBC
boycott of President Richard Nixon’s State
of the Union address in 1971 although he
criticized the Nixon administration’s approach
to the Black community and civil rights.
“The name of the group is not the
Congressional Black Democratic Caucus, it’s
the Black Caucus. [And] if they go back to
their founding principles, then these two men
should be welcomed with open arms,” said
Black Republican political strategist Raynard
Jackson. But, he predicted, even though West
and Scott have been invited, “this group
will make a hostile environment for another
Black [Republican] based on them not being
compatible in their philosophical leaning.”

Lee in an Oct. 22 article in The Economist,

He added, “They could be a real asset to

New County Council Members Prepare for Office

By George Barnette
AFRO Staff Writer
With five new members of the
Prince George’s County Council,
the transition into office will have to
be made as smooth as possible. The
new members have already starting
working to make sure they hit the
ground running in December.
The main thing new council
members are doing now is listening
to residents. All the candidates
have established ways for their
constituents to call or e-mail with
questions or concerns. With the

Black Republicans
Continued from A1
Maryland Congresswoman
Donna Edwards told the
AFRO, “If they’re aligned
with the interests of working
people, particularly African-
Americans, who struggle and
they want to work with us to
advance those interests,” they
would be a good addition to
the caucus. But, she added,
“what I know of them and
their agendas, it is difficult
for me to see how that would
work [though] it might
make for some interesting
discussions.”
Backed by the national
tea party and elected to
office by mostly White
voters, Scott and West have
decidedly conservative
agendas, including limited
government, lowered taxes
and cuts in government
spending. Jackson said that,
even among GOP ranks, the
men are considered to be far,
far right of center, making
them almost incompatible
with the mostly liberal
members of the CBC.
“These boys are crazy;
they’re tea party people,”
Jackson told the AFRO. “I’ve
had White people calling
me up saying these guys are
extremely conservative and
so far out of the mainstream.
Can you see them talking
with Maxine Waters? I’d like
to be a fly on the wall.”
But, he added, “If I were
them, I’d join just to push the
issue.”
West, in a Politico
interview, indicated his
interest in joining the CBC.
“That has been a monolithic
voice in the body politic
for far too long. There is a
growing conservative Black
voice in this country,” that
needs to be heard, West told
the publication.
Scott, on the other hand,
told Politico he is less
willing to join, pointing to
his experience in the South
Carolina Legislative Black
Caucus and the dissonance
between him and Black
Democrats.
Though White
Republicans are excited
by these two additions to
the House, saying their
victories signal a potential
increase in the number of
Black conservatives, the
new additions will not incite
more Blacks to join the party
“if they’re saying the same
thing White conservatives are
saying,” Jackson said. “It’s
not the messenger; it’s the
message. You can’t send a
Black to say the same things
Pat Buchanan says.”
“In a lot of ways,” Jackson
added, “it would be better not
to have these guys in these
positions because it gives the
White folks in the party a
way out” of having to create
real change, “especially if
they [Scott and West] have no
real power.”
Seeking New Chief
Continued from A1
it find a new chief to handle the $6 million
department. “We’re going to use the same
people we used when we found Chief Perez
in 2006, the Mercer group out of Atlanta,”
Deutsch said. “That process we found to be
very helpful because the executive recruiters
know a lot of people in the business and
they’re able to reach out to a lot of people and
get us a good applicant pool.
“We’ll also advertise the position locally
and nationally in various professional journals
and newspapers so that we can attract as wide
an applicant pool as possible,” he continued.
Perez was tasked with getting the
burgeoning police department on track and
she did that with flying colors, according
to Deutsch. When the police force initially
hit the streets in early 2007, the department
only had six officers. Now, manned by 48
officers, Bowie has its own department,
which not only handles traffic issues, but also
does community outreach and includes an
investigative unit.
The department’s creation came from the
city’s desire to have a larger police presence
in the city. Deutsch said the Prince George’s
County Police was doing a good job, but its
resources were thinly spread in the district in
which Bowie lies. That district, District II,
is 134 square miles and is home to 172,000
people, making it the second most populated
and second largest geographical location
in the county. It also houses communities
in Greenbelt, Glenarden and Largo, which
often need more police presence than
neighborhoods in Bowie. The city, with an
estimated population of roughly 50,000,
thought it needed extra help in securing
its roadways and neighborhoods. So the
city’s council gave the go-ahead to create a
department – a project that proved difficult.
“It was quite an undertaking because,
before we started, we looked across
the country and couldn’t find any city
approximately our population that had done
this,” Deutsch said. “A number of cities,
especially out in California, contract with the
county sheriff’s office for full coverage, but
that’s a different model. A number of small
towns have created police departments but
nothing on the scale of what we’re doing.”
Three years after the first officers hit
the street, officials believe the department
is heading in the right direction. The
incremental process is ongoing, but Deutsch
hopes to continue the progress once the new
chief is installed, which he hopes will happen
by the first quarter of 2011.
