Earlier today, I had the pleasure of attending the Carroll, Douglas, and Paulding Tri-County Democratic meeting—and let me tell you, it is truly inspiring to be in a room full of people who care so deeply about their communities and are ready to put in the work to make a difference. We shared ideas, made new connections, and reminded ourselves why local organizing matters so much.

We were joined by nearly all of the Democratic candidates for Georgia’s Public Service Commission: Peter Hubbard, Robert Jones, and Keisha Waites, who spoke powerfully about fair energy policy and protecting Georgians. And it was great to hear from Charlie Bailey, the new Chair of the Georgia Democratic Party, whose message was clear: the future of our party begins at the local level, with organizers like us leading the charge.

If you want a strong, sustainable Democratic Party it starts with showing up, supporting your local county parties, listening to your neighbors, and getting involved!

I’m so grateful for the energy in that room and so excited for what’s ahead. Let’s keep showing up—for each other, and for the future. 💙

TUESDAY, March 3, 2019 — Democrats from Paulding County had the privilege to visit Georgia’s gold dome in Atlanta. During their visit, they listened to a special guest, Fred Swann, the former Democratic candidate for Commissioner of Agriculture; they sat in both chambers of the general assembly; received a tour of the Capitol’s grounds; and heard from Representative Kimberly Alexander (D-Douglasville) as she gave a legislative update one day shy of Crossover Day.
