We asked two House candidates what it's like to run for Congress as Black Americans in 2020

Two crossed lines that form an 'X'. It indicates a way to close an interaction, or dismiss a notification.We spoke with two House candidates who would both be the first Black person to represent their district — Cameron Webb of Virginia and Desiree Tims of Ohio.

"And just to hear that question, it was so on the nose that it caught me off guard a little bit. And the first thing I said was, 'Well, you know, white people like me too.'" While Congress is the most diverse it's ever been, currently, Black men and women make up less than 10% of it. "So I'll say I'm a doctor and lawyer and professor, and people look at me and they're like, 'You look 12 years old.' That's when I'll cut through the air and I'll say, well you know, Black don't crack," Webb said.

"People in my community have had the same representation, or lack thereof, for decades. And it's time for fresh blood," she said.Matt Ritenour/Matt Petrunak/Kristan Lieb for Business Insider Todayshows Black women face negative perceptions when running regarding their personality, leadership ability, and competence. But Tims says that doesn't stop her.
