Former Georgia House Minority Leader and gubernatorial candidate DuBose Porter says he’ll run for state Democratic Party chairman.
Steve Anthony is a former executive director for the Party and a current lecturer at Georgia State University. He says the field of nominees, which includes former state Sens. Doug Stoner and Mary Squires, is pretty strong.
“DuBose will be a formidable candidate, as will Mr. Stoner,” he says, “It will really depend on contacts and so forth and what they’ve all done for each other and then their individual vision that they will lay out.”
Anthony says the chair will need to be able to raise money, reinvigorate voters, and befriend the business community.
“One of the biggest problems the Democrats have encountered in this last decade is they have lost the ability to open doors,” Anthony says.
