Steve Golden, the President of the Young Democrats of Georgia and member of the DPG Executive Committee, has endorsed DuBose Porter to be the next Chairman of the Democratic Party of Georgia.
An e-mail from Mr. Golden follows:
Friends,Since I became involved with politics in the state of Georgia, DuBose Porter has been one of my closest friends and most valued mentors. Even before I held any leadership position within the party, DuBose would frequently talk to me, asking for my opinion and answering my questions about the ins and outs of leading the House Democratic Caucus.
DuBose has been an active leader in the Democratic Party of Georgia for over thirty years, and continued to serve in such a capacity even after leaving the State House. When he was no longer an elected official, DuBose Porter did not abandon the Democratic Party, but instead he redoubled his efforts and became a representative to the Democratic National Committee.
DuBose is also a proven fundraiser with the experience to lead. His roots in Georgia are deep, and he is unquestionably one of the most well-respected political figures — Democrat or Republican — in all corners of our great state.
This is why I am proud to offer my endorsement and my vote to my friend, DuBose Porter, to be the next Chair of the Democratic Party of Georgia.
DuBose is a kind and caring man. As Georgia Democrats we have an awesome opportunity before us. But we can only capitalize on that opportunity if we set aside our differences for the common goal of winning elections. DuBose has pulled together Democrats — rural and urban, gay and straight, young and old, and of every hue — for more than 30 years. He’s done it before; he’ll do it again.
We as a party must rise above any internal bickering, and must join together to rebuild from the ground up. The time to lead is now, and I believe the person to lead is my good friend DuBose Porter.
Democratically yours,
Steve Golden
President, Young Democrats of Georgia
