US Senate Candidate Lodges Official Complaint Against Party Chair

ATLANTA - Nov. 14, 2013 - PRLog -- (November 12, 2013 - Decatur, Georgia) – Former State Senator Steen Miles, a Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate,  today filed an official complaint with the Georgia Democratic Party against Chairman Dubose Porter for violation of the party’s bylaws.

“Sadly, newly elected party Chair Dubose Porter is not a man of his word and is in violation of Section 7 Section 1.7 of the Georgia Democratic Party Bylaws which explicitly prohibits supporting a Democratic candidate who has opposition during a primary or special election.  The blatant disregard of other Democratic candidates for U.S. Senate and publicly stated support and other actions favoring one candidate over others is a clear violation of party rules, thwarts the democratic process and perpetuates ‘good ole boy’ blatantly discriminatory practices,” said Senator Miles. “It is not a good look. While I cannot speak for other candidates, it is deeply disappointing for Chairman Porter to personally pledge his ‘fairness’ at the party elections only to renege on that promise and violate party bylaws by openly supporting one ‘anointed’ candidate. Is it because the ‘anointed’ candidate has considerably more money than the state party?” questioned Miles.

Senator Miles said she realizes her complaint will not be addressed, but at least the violation will be on record.

Senator Miles is one of four announced candidates for the Democratic nomination for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Senator Saxby Chambliss.
