Sign the petition to Senate Democrats: Hire more black people in top positions

U.S. Senate Democrats

Alabama Senator-elect Doug Jones has hired longtime U.S. Transportation Department aide Dana Gresham to be his chief of staff.

This will make him the only Democratic senator (out of 49) to hire a black person in that role.

African-Americans are among the most loyal Democratic voters, having provided the margin of victory in many key elections.

But before Doug Jones, not a single Democratic senator had hired a black chief of staff or communications director. Two Republican senators have an African-American chief of staff.

It is outrageous that despite African-Americans being among the most loyal Democratic voters, only one Democratic senator out of 49 has hired a black chief of staff.
