Man calls cops on family of black legislative candidate out canvassing saying they're 'waiting for drugs at a local drug house'

Sheila Stubbs, who won the Democratic primary for Wisconsin's 77th Assembly District, said that, in 2018, it shouldn’t be strange to have a black woman knocking on your door

A 46-year-old former educator and parole agent, Sheila Stubbs, who won the Democratic primary for Wisconsin's 77th Assembly District last month said that she experienced the "hardest journey of my life" a week before her win. Stubbs said that, when she was canvassing door to door, an unidentified man called the police on her.

Stubbs, while talking to the Capital Times this week, said that she had been handing out campaign material with her 71-year-old mother and her eight-year-old daughter in her constituency when a police officer approached them and began questioning the family.
