At Carter-Lewis dinner, Beshear urges Georgia Democrats to get 'dirt on our boots'

Georgia Democrats say they are getting ready for a rebirth as this year’s midterm election season approaches.

At the annual Carter-Lewis dinner Saturday, headlined by Democratic Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear, supporters, donors and elected officials from across the state gathered to mobilize for what many expect to be a tough fight for Democrats at the ballot box.

U.S. Sen. Jon Ossoff is facing a competitive reelection campaign, as the only Senate Democrat up for reelection in a state Trump won in 2024, and candidates for statewide offices like governor, lieutenant governor and attorney general are tasked with winning over voters who previously supported Republican candidates.

But with strong Democratic turnout during last year’s Public Service Commission elections and overperformances during off-year special elections, Democrats see plenty of signs for hope.
