Ebenezer Baptist’s Rev. Raphael Warnock Enters Georgia Senate Race

The Rev. Raphael Warnock, the senior pastor at Martin Luther King Jr.’s historic church, is planning to make history in Georgia. He has entered the race for the U.S. Senate in the Peach State.
In a campaign video, Rev. Warnock said, “I’ve always thought that my impact doesn’t stop at the church door. That’s actually where it starts. I love this country, and I believe that what makes America so great is that we’ve always had a path to make it greater.”
