Trayvon Martin's Mother, Sybrina Fulton, Qualifies To Run For Office In Florida

Trayvon Martin's mother, Sybrina Fulton, announced this week that she has qualified to run for public office in Florida.

Floyd, a black man, was killed last month when a white Minneapolis police officer knelt on his neck for nearly nine minutes.

In an interview this week, Fulton said she was not in support of calls to defund police departments, a demand that has gained momentum in the wake of Floyd's killing.

With her candidacy, Fulton joins a group of black mothers who have sought elected office after their children were shot and killed.

She has already secured endorsements from Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., and former 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, who held a virtual fundraiser with Fulton last month.
