The Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) is throwing their support behind a white Democrat, despite the fact that he is being challenged by a black Republican, the Daily Caller has learned.
Jennifer-Ruth Green, a black Republican, is challenging Frank Mrvan, a white Democrat, in Indiana’s First Congressional District. The race is considered a “toss-up” by nonpartisan election analysts. According to recent campaign finance filings reviewed by the Caller, the Congressional Black Caucus on Sept. 28 donated $5,000 to Mrvan, despite the fact that he is white and Green is black.

Green outraised Mrvan in Q3. She raised around $1.4 million, while he raised less than $940,000.
In 2021, the Congressional Black Caucus allegedly blocked black Republican Florida Rep. Byron Donalds from joining the group.
At the time, Donalds’ spokesman Harrison Fields said, “The sad reality is although the Congressman and those in the CBC share the same race, the (R) behind his name disqualifies him from membership today.”
The Daily Caller contacted the Congressional Black Caucus about their support for Mrvan to which they did not immediately respond. Democratic Ohio Rep. Joyce Beatty, who is the chair of the caucus, also did not respond to an inquiry about the CBC’s support for Mrvan.
