Black Woman Runs Against Speaker Of The Virginia House After A Gerrymandering Case In Her District

Virginia's 66th district map has been redrawn after a case of racial gerrymandering was presented to the Supreme Court. For the first time in a long time, the district now reflects the democratic voters who live there.

Republican Speaker of the Virginia House of Delegates, Kirk Cox, who has represented the district for 29 years, is expected to face his first tough race in decades. He will be running against Sheila Bynum-Coleman.

Bynum-Coleman spoke with Roland Martin about her run for office during Monday's edition of #RolandMartinUnfiltered.
