ATLANTA - The Executive Committee of the Democratic Party of Georgia has selected which of the Democratic presidential candidates will appear on the party's 2016 Presidential Preference Primary ballot in the state.
In a process laid out by Georgia law and guidelines by the Democratic National Committee, the Executive Committee chose former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, law professor Larry Lessig, former Maryland Governor Martin O’Malley, U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders, and attorney Michael Steinberg to appear on the ballot.
“Georgia Democrats look forward to a robust primary that has already brought out the best of our Party," said state party chairman DuBose Porter. "We’ve seen our candidates address the issues that matter most to Georgians—pay equity, raising the minimum wage, access to affordable healthcare, expanded access to the ballot box, and an economy that works for everyone.”
The Executive Committee has until December 1 send the Secretary of State the candidates' names. Georgia's Presidential primaries will be held March 1.
