From Hair Stylist to Black Lives Matter Activist to Candidate: Bridgette Craighead is Going to Flip Her Virginia District Blue

Bridgette Craighead was born and raised in Rocky Mount, Virginia -- as a mom and small business owner, she'd never really gotten political before until the murder of George Floyd, when she organized Rocky Mount's first ever Black Lives Matter protest, where even some police officers came out to show their support. Imagine her surprise when six months later, two of those officers stormed the capitol in D.C. -- Bridgette was instrumental in them getting fired off the force. Now as a candidate for House of Delegates, Bridgette is up against a young very-Trump-ian Republican and even while he tries to say she "doesn't fit" the community, she's taking the high road. Get to know her story and then help her campaign before the November election: bridgettefordelegate.com/ Note: This episode includes explicit language. Produced by Dear Media.
