Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
Two dozen black Georgia lawmakers back Biden's 2020 bid
https://www.ajc.com/blog/politics/two-dozen-black-georgia-lawmakers-back-biden-2020-bid/s4qv9WaPfsOUK91fjFwVyO/# More than two dozen black state legislators endorsed former Vice President Joe Biden’s campaign on Thursday ahead of the third presidential debate in Houston.
The 26 endorsements include state Rep. Billy Mitchell, the president-elect of the National Black Caucus of State Legislators, state Rep. Karen Bennett, the Georgia Legislative Black Caucus Chair and state Rep. Carolyn Hugley, the former No. 2 Democrat in the state House.
The show of support for Biden comes on the heels of a string of other Democratic figures who backed his campaign. Former U.S. Sen. Max Cleland endorsed Biden shortly after he entered the race, and Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms is one of his most prominent supporters in Georgia.
And last month, state Rep. Calvin Smyre, the longest-serving legislator in the state, threw his support behind Biden, saying he endorsed the former vice president because he “won’t need on the job training.”

Much more at the link, including a full list of the endorsements.
I just saw a tweet from ABC's Molly Nagle saying the Biden campaign has announced 59 endorsements from African American state legislators from 15 states:
