DPG Chair Statement on Georgia Primary
Results
Atlanta, GA – Democratic
Party of Georgia Chair
DuBose Porter issued the following statement on the results of the
Georgia Presidential Primary.
“First, I want to
congratulate Secretary Clinton on her win in
Georgia. Both she and Senator Sanders ran spirited campaigns and
showcased the fact that our Party—the Democratic Party—has a
substantive plan to build on the progress made over the last seven
years under the Obama Administration.
“I’d imagine that Georgia
Republicans—up and down the ballot—would
rather have a wasp in their mouth than have Donald Trump at the top of
the ticket. But he is a monster of their own creation. His victory is
perfectly illustrative of just how extreme and out of touch the
Republican Party has become. Whether or not he clinches the nomination,
Trump and the stranglehold he has held on the GOP pose very serious
problems for their Party in November.
“Georgia voters will have a clear choice in November, and we will join a majority of states in sending another Democrat to the White House.”

REACTION
ODP Statement on Last Night's Democratic Primary
[Oklahoma City, OK, March 2,
2016] Yesterday, voters in Oklahoma’s Democratic Presidential Primary
went to the polls and favored Senator Bernie Sanders over Secretary
Hillary Clinton by a vote of 52-percent to 42-percent respectively; the
remaining five Democratic candidates, including Martin O’Malley,
received six percent of votes cast collectively. Based on unofficial
results, Sanders will tentatively gain 21 delegates while Clinton
receives 17. The four Oklahoma superdelegates are not included in those
numbers. This was the first time that voters registered as Independent
were allowed to vote in the Democratic primary.
“We wish to congratulate
Senator Sanders on his hard fought victory in the Oklahoma Primary. The
Sanders team made a tremendous effort here and the results of last
nights election clearly show that. We want to thank both Senator
Sanders and Secretary Clinton for their visits to our great state and
on running campaigns based on the issues facing Oklahomans of all
backgrounds and not on the fear-mongering, name-calling, and hateful
rhetoric that’s been put forth by the Republican candidates,” said Mark
Hammons, Oklahoma Democratic Party Chairman.
“We are proud of the work
done by both candidates to help energize our base and reignite passion
within our party. We look forward to joining Democrats from around the
country this July in Philadelphia to select our nominee to be the next
President of the United States and we want to thank the many supporters
and volunteers across the state who put in so much effort for this
election,” said Hammons.

REACTIONS
Tennessee Democratic Party
TNDP Chair Statement on Super Tuesday
Results
NASHVILLE, TENN. (March 1, 2016) – Tennessee
Democratic Party chair Mary Mancini released the following statement
regarding the results of the Super Tuesday / SEC primary in Tennessee:
“First, I’d like to
congratulate Secretary Clinton on winning the Democratic Primary in
Tennessee. Sec. Hillary Clinton did a fantastic job and put in the
sweat equity that it takes to win our state, and she was rewarded. Sen.
Sanders should also be proud of his campaign here. He has excited a new
generation of voters and has brought them to the Democratic Party.
And tonight there is another
winner – Democrats all across the state who had two great
candidates to choose from – candidates who are campaigning with heart,
and offering smart, serious ideas for moving our country forward.
There is no comparison between our qualified and substantive candidates and theirs. The Republican Party is stuck with the result of years of pandering to extremists — a field of candidates with extreme views far out of the mainstream who would rather engage in childish name-calling than find solutions. In other states the Republican establishment is trying to run away from their front-runner, Donald Trump. But in Tennessee, they are running towards him, happy to support a candidate who was endorsed by a leader of the KKK.”

one-quarter of pledged delegates at stake. Clinton won by a solid
32-point margin. Clinton has long ties to the state; in 1972 she

Valley to vote for George McGovern; she also has connections from Bill
Clinton's presidential campaigns and terms as president, and from her
2008 campaign.
REACTIONS
March 2, 2016
Texas Democratic Party Chairman Gilberto
Hinojosa issued the following statement:
“Texas has spoken.
With a resounding 32 point win
and 147 of 222 total delegates awarded last night, Texas has set
Secretary Hillary Clinton well on her way to secure the Democratic
nomination.
“I want to thank both of our
candidates for
investing in Texas and generating the excitement in our base that drove
out over 1.4 million Texas Democrats to elect their nominee. The
Democratic primary has been about how we can best ensure all families
get ahead. This is a primary we can all be proud of.” (+)
