Georgia Is In Play In Presidential Election, Democratic Field Organizer Told Oconee County Democrats

Georgia already is “purple," or in-play in the presidential election in November, Paul Glaze, a field organizer for the Democratic Party of Georgia, told a gathering of Oconee County Democrats on Thursday night.

The goal now is to win the governorship in 2018 and then start to run Democrats in local elections, even in heavily Republican Oconee County, Glaze said.

Glaze, with responsibility for the Greater Athens and North Georgia area, was joined by Max Doty, regional field director, at a gathering in Northwest Woods subdivision.

About 40 people turned out to hear the two talk about Democratic Party present and short-term plans.
