The Founding Fathers would be stunned to see what happened outside Independence Hall in Philadelphia on Monday night.

A different ruling would have shifted power away from Democratic-leaning areas.

Friends,
It is with a heavy heart that I tenure my resignation as Chair of the Early County Democratic Party. I ask you to join with me in support of Kenneth Cody who will now lead our local party. Let's not waiver in our effort to turn Georgia blue.

I Still Believe

By DPG On November 5, 2014 · In Georgia Democrats .. .

Friends,

Before I share my thoughts about what happened last night, I want to say thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you for giving your time, your money and your resources to our Democratic candidates. Thank you for volunteering your time to phone bank and canvass for such a strong and historic slate of candidates. Thank you for standing up for our values—even in areas of the state where it is not popular to bleed blue.

Thank you for believing in us again.

In the end, that’s what it has all come down to. We had candidates running on our ticket—from the top to the bottom—who we could all believe in again.

Our candidates stood for our issues—better schools for our children, less gridlock in Washington, fair and accessible elections and a better, more responsive and ethical government.

And the Republicans were scared.

Make no mistake about it ya’ll, Georgia was, and is, in play.

Last night was the culmination of the Republicans pouring tens of millions of dollars into our state. Despite being outspent, Democrats were competitive until the end. And Republicans had their smallest margin of victory since 2002.

It stung like hell. That’s absolutely true. But we have some positive signs as well.
Michelle Nunn cut into GOP strongholds like Cobb and Gwinnett counties and won Douglas and Henry counties outright.

Our Senate Democrats maintained every seat. And our House Democrats continued to stop a GOP super-majority in the House. They held on to contested seats in districts in counties such as Douglas, Paulding, Coweta, Troup and Meriweather. No incumbents were lost.

Georgia is now a battleground state for 2016. We were as competitive as traditional battlegrounds like Ohio and North Carolina, and we have two years to continue building our infrastructure for 2016 and beyond.

I understand taking a bit of time to lick these wounds. But not too much time. We have work to do. We will continue to build. We will continue to raise hope. We will continue to believe in Democrats.

Bleeding Blue in Laurens County,

Chairman, Democratic Party of Georgia

Peggy--

It has been a profound honor working alongside you these past eleven months to cast a better vision for the future of our state.

While the results are not what we had hoped for, we have much to be proud of.

We put education and middle-class families at the forefront of the discussion. We reached out to the many diverse communities of this state in unprecedented ways. And we built one of the strongest grassroots campaigns this state has ever seen.

Every call made, dollar donated and door knocked was not wasted.

We accomplished something real and our state is better because of it.

The biggest thing Kate and I will take away from this experience is the passion we encountered across the state. Georgians of all ages, ethnicities, incomes and neighborhoods are fighting every day for a better future they know is possible.

That passion inspired us every step of the way and will be a constant reminder to us that Georgia really is ready.

Thank you for all your support. We have so much to be proud of.

Jason

I want to thank each and every Democrat in Early County. You worked hard. You canvassed. You fought the good fight. We can take pride in the fact that we showed up and we were counted….which scared the bejeezus out of the Republicans. Let the word go forth – y’all ain’t seen nothing yet.
