DALLAS, Texas—The Republican Party should invest time and money into attracting black voters, even in areas where Democrats have dominated for years, according to activist Autry Pruitt.

“The biggest challenge is convincing Republican Party establishment types that the black vote should not be abandoned. The grassroots, Republican grassroots, they’re amazing. They get it, they understand the message. But it’s the establishment and party types, the consultant class, that gives up,” Pruitt, CEO of the New Journey political action committee, told The Epoch Times at the Conservative Political Action Conference.
