Thank You
Mike Berlon,
Thank you for running for DPG Chair. You ran an admirable campaign.
The impact of your decision to run for chair rather than allow the establishment to once again anoint a successor has changed the landscape of the Democratic Party of Georgia. While we are truly disappointed with the outcome of the elections, we know that it was you who stepped out front and called for change.
Many people fear change. I believe this is the sole reason for the loss. We know there were some shenanigans going on behind the scenes to dissuade people from voting for you. This is disappointing and a testament to the need for change.
It cannot be overlooked that you had the most votes and strongest support on the first ballot. That is the most important ballot as it reveals the true intent of the voters as a whole.
Now we move forward, diligent and more determined to succeed.
I urge you to consider standing for re-election as County Party Chair.
Gwinnett County has a population larger than 5 states. Your 10 point plan you created for the DPG Chair race should be implemented right here in our home county.
We are energized and ready to work.
