Joan Higginbotham, the third Black woman to go to space, is considering running for the state's open Senate seat.
Astronaut Joan Higginbotham may run for the US Senate from North Carolina as a Democrat. Republican Richard Burr currently holds that seat but has stated that he would not seek re-election in 2022. So if Ms. Higginbotham ran and won, she would be flipping the seat for the Democrats.
If the Higginbotham candidacy is successful then she would be joining fellow astronaut Mark Kelly (D-AZ) in the Senate – presuming that he’s re-elected next year.
It would not be the first time two astronauts would be serving in the Senate at the same time. From 1977 to 1983 John Glenn (D-OH) and Harrison Schmitt (R-NM) served together in the upper chamber.
It would be great to have Joan Higginbotham with her scientific background in the Senate. The anti-science and pseudoscience crowd are overrepresented on Capitol Hill and the climate-deniers and creationists need to get more pushback from the reality-based majority in the US.
Also, electing a woman and an African-American to the US Senate would make that body more representative of the US as a whole.
