Republican Endorsement for Powell

Sure enough, the campaign of JB Powell is showing signs of life.

Darwin Carter announced he is backing Powell in what I believe is the first major endorsement for the former State Senator from the 23rd District.

I believe this is what Graham alluded to the other day.

In a press conference this afternoon at the Georgia National Fairgrounds, JB Powell, the Democratic Candidate for Commissioner of Agriculture, received an endorsement from Darwin Carter, a 2010 Republican candidate for Commissioner of Agriculture and former Reagan administration official. This is the only cross-party endorsement from a statewide candidate in over a decade in Georgia politics.

Full release here.

Ron Daniels offers some numbers here.

    darwin carter ran in the republican primary for ag commissioner. he’s endorsed jb powell because gary black is not a farmer but a lobbyist. that is why i am voting for the libertarian in this race.
