Independents are winning close to home
Independent and nonpartisan candidates from Georgia and across the country have run without major parties, won, and are now holding office.
Tracy SaundersMayor, Port Wentworth, GA
“The biggest challenge of running as an independent is that you don't have built-in big party support. Being able to pull in supporters from both parties was a benefit, but it is much harder without that built-in support system.”
Kimberly HaaseCity Council, Acworth, GA
“It's about the people and helping the people, and not getting caught up in the bureaucracy of party-driven campaigns.”
Tom LambertCity Council Member, Dunwoody, GA
“Running as an independent candidate, coming out of the gate you feel that you already have a disadvantage because of the resources that the major parties provide for their candidates. It helps to kind of level the playing field a little bit.”
