The Congressional Black Caucus has been thorn in the side of the Black community for too long. We all know the problems with them; Refusing to make legislation to protect us from violent anti-Black racists, no movement on reparations over the past 3 administrations, and refusing to prosecute the attackers of the Black community.

But the time for recounting is over, now its time to oust the sellouts.

Below is a comprehensive list of CBC members’ campaign finances for their most recent elections, this will provide the grassroots the exact monetary amounts needed to run a competitive campaign against any of the members of the caucus.

The CBC is one of the most established and electorally resilient caucuses in Congress, with incumbents often enjoying strong name recognition, deep fundraising networks, and institutional support. Many members—particularly those in leadership positions such as Hakeem Jeffries, James Clyburn, Maxine Waters, and Raphael Warnock—command substantial campaign war chests, sometimes tens of millions of dollars, making them extremely difficult to challenge with purely local, underfunded candidates.

House members in safe districts, like Terri Sewell (AL) or Joyce Beatty (OH), have consistently raised enough funds to deter serious challengers, and their voter bases tend to be strongly aligned with the Democratic Party. Competitive races exist, mostly in swing districts or newly drawn districts—examples include LaMonica McIver (NJ), Jasmine Crockett (TX), and Don Davis (NC). In these cases, well-organized local candidates with deep community roots, strong local endorsements, and grassroots mobilization might mount credible challenges, but they would still face an uphill battle against incumbents’ financial advantage and established networks.

Senate members like Raphael Warnock and Angela Alsobrooks face the highest scrutiny nationally, yet their fundraising power and incumbency make them formidable.

But the work can and will be done to remove the treasonous members of this defunct caucus. The grassroots is up to the challenge and ready for the spoils.
