Ten with Ken Special: Shannon Churchwell

This is Ten with Ken, a ten-minute interview series that's never ten minutes.

In this Ten with Ken Special called “Black Voices”, I’ll be speaking with prominent black leaders in Nevada to talk about who they are, their experiences as Americans and Republicans, and what matters most to them. I caught up with Shannon Churchwell, a former Democratic candidate, and Nevada State Director for BLEXIT, a group dedicated to getting black Americans to exit the Democratic Party. She tells her story and gives some good advice to Republican candidates heading into the midterm elections. Enjoy.

Shannon invites anyone interested in conservative outreach to minorities to become a member of the BLEXIT Foundation today. You can join the cause at www.blexitfoundation.org.
