In 2014, The National Review Online described John Wood, Jr. as a tough political challenger running against, U.S. Representative, Maxine Waters (D-CA) for the 43rd Congressional District seat. The 43rd congressional district encompasses a large portion of South Central Los Angeles and several multi ethnic communities to the South.
ReelUrbanNews.com recently spoke with the former congressional candidate, John Wood, Jr. about what he thinks the republican party can do to attract other young African Americans and minorities to the party. “Republicans who are not politicians but who are business owners and men and women of faith need to come into the community and start interacting with the young folks in the community. We need to develop more relationships.”
