About Us

The HRBC is a grass roots organization. Established in 2012 with the purpose of increasing the representation of elected officials who advocate and support legislation directed towards enhancing the Black community. To effectively impact the Black community the HRBC supports the following initiatives:
Our Four Pillars:

1. Black –Owned Business Growth – HRBC members support elected officials that support Black owned business growth.

2. Educational Advancement- HRBC members support elected officials that support every student of color receiving a quality education that prepares him or her to be a contributing member of a democracy. 3. Economic Development- HRBC members support elected officials that can assist in driving capital to Black entrepreneurs to start, maintain and grow their businesses.   4. Community Development- HRBC members support elected officials that support building and expanding community development ecosystems that increase structural capacity and leadership skills of Black community development professionals on regenerating underserved Black communities.

The goal of the Hampton Roads Black Caucus is to raise funds to support these candidates that best represent the goals of our organization.

Governed by a board of community and business leaders, and supported by a diverse membership base, HRBC will remain a non-partisan organization solely committed to supporting candidates who support our missions and initiatives.

HRBC was established to help those individuals bridge the gap and gain victory at the polls.

Individuals campaigning for state or local elected office in one of the Hampton Roads’ cities, who are supportive of the missions and initiatives of the HRBC, will have an opportunity to receive support in one or more of the following methods:

  • Monetary Support
  • Public Endorsement
  • Engagement of our Membership Base
