Women win WIN over
Georgia’s leading Democratic women’s PAC has endorsed, well, four Democratic women for top state races in the July 18 primary. They are: Cathy Cox for governor, Gail Buckner for secretary of state, Denise Majette for school superintendent and Dawn Randolph for public service commissioner.
The political action committee — the Women in Numbers (or WIN, get it?) List — raised and distributed $82,000 in the last election cycle, and says its politically active members contributed more money to the endorsed candidates. It concentrates its efforts on seats where Republicans might otherwise run unopposed.
WIN List “seeks to change the face of Georgia politics by electing more pro-choice Democratic women to the General Assembly and to statewide office who are committed to reproductive freedom and economic, educational, and legal equality for all women,” according to a note sent to me by board member Melanie Goux.
WIN endorsed about 40 legislative candidates as well. The complete list is at WIN’S website.
