Young, Black and Republican: House conservative aims to win Black voters over with cognac and cigars
Fox News
Rep. Wesley Hunt, R-Texas, is hosting a series of events titled, "Congress, Cognac, and Cigars" in cities in swing states as part of an outreach effort to Black male voters.
Republicans need to "fish where the fish are," Hunt said: "Our party doesn't always go to the Black community. I've been Black my whole life, man. Growing up — my family is from New Orleans, I grew up here in Houston. And it dawned on me that whenever you look around, you don't see any Republicans actually taking what we want as a party to the Black community." Chris Pandolfo is a writer for Fox News Digital.

Throughout the summer, the Texas representative will host conversations inviting Black men who live in minority-majority cities in swing states to hear how Republicans will lead on issues that matter to all Americans.
