ATLANTA — The Democratic Party of Georgia recently launched a statewide campaign to recruit hundreds of Democrats to run for local office. This is part of a national campaign by Contest Every Race to ensure that no Republican goes unchallenged up or down the ballot.
The program utilizes text messages, coaching calls and in-person organizing meetings to identify and mobilize Democrats to run for local office, with a particular focus on geographic areas where a high percentage of Republicans go uncontested – outside of major urban areas.
