Amanda Edwards is on a mission to become the next Democratic U.S. Senator from Texas, replacing Republican incumbent Sen. John Cornyn. But she’s also vying to become the state’s first Black woman to hold the post.
“I recognize that there are women, there are girls, there are a multiplicity of folks who are looking at me as I am attempting to crack this glass ceiling,” Edwards says during an interview with theGrio.
“I know that that means for them, they are investing their energy,” Edwards continues. “They are investing their dreams, and so [it’s] not something that I overlook. It helps me to stay motivated and to understand that what’s at stake extends far greater and far beyond just me and me becoming the next senator.”
