Richard Ivory, a moderate who is one of the head honchos of Hip Hop Republican blog, outlines some black and Hispanic Republican candidates who are running for office: "As election season swings back into high gear, and pundits and pollsters opine as to whom the likely winners will be, notably absent in all the coverage is the rather large and growing number of minority and urban Republican candidates who are seeking to make their mark in the upcoming election cycle. While their numbers are small in comparison to the Democrats, their willingness to pursue public service is a testament to each individual. And as someone who has worked on many minority Republican campaigns such races can be the most grueling of sports."
Below are the black folks on Mr. Ivory's list, which is not an exhaustive list:
Ryan Frazier: "This African-American Republican has been tagged the conservative version of Obama. He is a 31-year old-city council member from Aurora, Colorado. He wants to be that state’s next Senator. He has won many of the major straw polls and is beloved by many in the conservative base."

Lieutenant Colonel Allen West (US Army, Retired): "An African-American candidate in the State of Florida, he is making a run for Florida’s 22nd Congressional District against incumbent Democrat Ron Klein."
