By: ShaCamree Gowdy Mandela Barnes, Wisconsin's first Black lieutenant governor, announced Tuesday that he will be taking it a step further as he seeks to become the state's first African American to serve in the US Senate. “I’m running for the United States Senate because when things get tough, we shouldn’t lower our expectations,” Barnes said in a campaign video, as reported by The Guardian. “Instead of changing our dreams, we need to change the game. Hard-working Wisconsin families deserve every opportunity, but politicians like Senator Ron Johnson aren’t delivering.” RELATED: Tiffany P.
