Thanks to gerrymandering, Republicans need not win over too many Black voters to affect a handful of races, and dozens of Black Republican House candidates — a record number of them — are reshaping the party’s pitch.

But tellingly, Black Republican candidates such as Ms. Green and John James, who is running for a Michigan House seat, are not advertising their party affiliations, just their biographies — a sign that the G.O.P. brand remains toxic in some corners.
Tellingly, indeed. Welcome to GOP window dressing.
John James was recruited to run in Michigan's 10th CD because it's a slam-dunk for any GOP candidate. A Democrat is lucky to get one-third of the vote here.
And why wouldn't John James advertise his GOP affiliation in a district where his party wins elections this handily?
