Black Representatives in Congress
Every Black member of Congress graded on their voting record, donor conflicts, and accountability to Black Americans. 67 Black members tracked · 62 in the CBC
This directory covers Black members of Congress. Rankings and Compare cover all 292 tracked members through a Black-interest lens.
Red Flag
Serious documented harm — anti-Black votes, donor conflicts, or harmful public actions.
Watch
Concerns worth monitoring — suspicious donors, mixed votes, or a pattern worth knowing.
Sell-Out List
Reps whose record breaks from the interests of Black voters.
PEND
Not enough voting record yet to grade. New or recently appointed members.
Grades reflect tracked votes, sponsorships, and committee actions on issues affecting Black Americans.
Why do grades skew high here? Black members of Congress vote more consistently on Black-interest issues than the full Congress — by design. This directory shows that pattern clearly. For the full picture across all 292 tracked members (including 163 who earn an F), see the full Congress rankings →
