Hillary Clinton Campaign Announces Hillary for Georgia Leadership Council
                                                                                                 
The Clinton Campaign announced the launch of its “Hillary for Georgia Leadership Council” (HFGA LC) – a group of over 60 elected officials, community, student, coalition and grassroots leaders who will help build a grassroots-driven volunteer team that will help Hillary to win the Georgia Primary on March 1.
 
These Leadership Councils will serve as the in-state leadership for the campaign, amplifying the campaign’s national voice to Georgia families aiding the campaign with rapid response, organization building, grassroots organizing events, recruiting volunteer leaders, and identifying leaders for Get Out The Vote activities.
 
Many of the Leadership Council members share Clinton’s commitment to raising wages for the middle class, her plan to reform health care to reduce prescription drug costs, her passion for reforming the criminal justice system and her belief that debt should never be a barrier for students going to college and much more.
 
“As our former Secretary of State, Senator from New York, and first Lady of the United States, Hillary Clinton is the most qualified person to be President of the United States,” said Congressman John Lewis. “I know her heart. We need her leadership, not just here in America, but all over the world. She is tireless in her advocacy for those who have been left out and left behind. She is ready to be President on day one. Hillary Clinton has my wholehearted endorsement, and I plan to work and campaign for her to see that she is elected the next President of the United States.”
 
“I am honored to join the Hillary for Georgia Leadership Council,” said House Minority Leader Stacey Abrams. “Secretary Clinton's vision for a just, fair and economically robust nation reflects the values of Georgia. We are excited to welcome the growing ranks of volunteers and supporters to ensure that Hillary Clinton becomes the next President of the United States.”
 
“I am excited to be a part of the Hillary for Georgia Leadership Council, and am proud to lend my active support to Hillary because she and I share the same goal of expanding access to higher education,” said Representative Stacey Evans.
 
“I believe in the changing power of strong and inspirational leadership, and I know that we'll get just that by electing Hillary Clinton as our President in 2016,” said Jennifer Young, Grassroots Volunteer Leader. “It is with this spirit and fervor that I am joining the Hillary for Georgia Leadership Council. I look forward to working to not only turning Georgia Blue, but to spreading Secretary Clinton's message throughout the nation"
 
Over the course of the campaign, the HFGA LC will continue to expand.
