Democratic Party of Georgia Chair Endorses Taylor Bennett for House District 80
Atlanta, GA – Today, Democratic Party of Georgia Chairman DuBose Porter released the following endorsement of Taylor Bennett in the special election for House District 80.
“As a small business owner, Taylor understands the importance of locally owned companies in a community, and the gravity of the roles those businesses play in the lives of that community’s families. He understands that for families to succeed, they first need opportunity and access to the resources that inevitably lead to success.”
“Middle class families in House District 80 need someone on their side—and that’s who they’ll get in Taylor Bennett. Taylor is a leader who will make the case for his constituents, and serve as an advocate for Georgia’s families under the Gold Dome—which is why I wholeheartedly endorse Taylor Bennett to be our next representative for HD 80.”
