The National Black Republican Association's endorsement of Donald Trump for President of the United States has been very well received by other Republican black leaders across the country. The response has been overwhelming, with other leaders contacting us to add their support of the NBRA's endorsement of Mr. Trump. Highlighted below are the leaders who gave us their permission to release their names to the public. Our subsequent press releases during the general election will include the names of other leaders who endorse Mr. Trump when he has become our party’s presidential nominee, which we expect will be the decision of the majority of Republican Party primary voters. In our view, Mr. Trump’s nomination will be well-deserved, since we believe he is the only candidate who can both unify our party and attract new, independent and conservative black voters.
As
Chairman of the Texas Federation for Republican Outreach (TFRO), Bill Calhoun
has this to say regarding his endorsement of Donald Trump: "Our members
are dedicated to identifying and engaging independent, black voters with two issues that hit closest to home: jobs
and school choice. Despite the fact that they overwhelmingly vote for
Democrat candidates, the economic conditions for far too many African Americans
is marginal. The Republican Party has a positive message and we have
been talking to voters about it. We share information with them on
two critical issues – how to increase their income in this new economy that the
Democrats have created and the new strategies they must adopt to save and
accumulate wealth to pass on to their families. It’s time for Republican
candidates to help us by engaging black voters early in the primary season with
an economic message that puts the blame for these conditions where it belongs,
squarely in the hands of the Democrats and their public policy programs.
Donald Trump seems to be the only candidate for President willing to do this.”
Mason Weaver’s impressive biography shows that he is changing the way people think about how they do business; how they interact with their families, friends and the world. He has been training, educating, teaching and reaching thousands with his messages of hope for the future and empowering individuals with the tools they need to become the driving forces for positive change. Mr. Weaver stated that his YouTube endorsement of Donald Trump is based on Mr. Trump’s business success and his focus on “making America great again.” In a YouTube video, Mr. Weaver explains the Trump phenomenon: “no matter who he attacks or who attacks him, his polling numbers claim higher.”

national security and economy in jeopardy.”
Ken
Jordan and Brenda Battle Jordon are on the Genesee County Republican Executive
Committee in Michigan, as well as the Flint Right To Life Board. Brenda is the
former Director of Black Americans of Genesee County and is currently a member
of the Westwood Heights School Board. The Jordans said they are sadden by
how our school system is designed to benefit teachers’ unions – major donors to
the Democratic Party – at the expense of black children trapped in failing
urban schools. At the time the Jordans announced their endorsement of Donald
Trump, Brenda stated: “Mr. Trump is self-financed and will not be deterred by union money from returning
control over our schools back to parents and local communities, such as the
Westwood Heights School District in Flint, Michigan.”
