Chairman Ralph H. Dixon Sr. and the Executive Members of the Liberty County Democratic Committee (LCDC) denounces the printed list of democratic candidates that was allegedly distributed at the Peaceful Protest March in Hinesville on the evening of Thursday, June 4, 2020, as The Democratic National Committee (DNC), Democratic Party of Georgia (DPG) and the Liberty County Democratic Committee’s (LCDC) bylaws prohibit endorsement of any democratic candidates in primary elections.
Chairman Dixon denounces the distributed list as not coming from the LCDC by saying, “We are staying out of the primary elections and have not endorsed any candidates.” W. Renea Camper, who serves as 2nd Vice-Chair and Committee Chair for Communications/Social Media/IT/Elections, and Vice-Chair for Communications/Grant Development of the 1st Congressional District of DPG said, “Whoever distributed the list did so without the permission or knowledge of the LCDC. As an organization, we did not and do not endorse candidates in primary elections, as it is against our bylaws.” Camper commented further by saying, “We were made aware of the list yesterday and attempted to investigate the source of the document but could not determine who created the document.”
The LCDC previously announced at its last official meeting and on its Facebook page that we would accept 2020 Georgia Democratic State, District, and Local candidate’s ads and videos to post on our page due to the COVID-19 pandemic, however, that we would not endorse any Democratic candidates in the primary election. Once a Democratic Nominee is officially determined in the Primary Election, we will support that nominee in the General Election in November 2020. All Democratic candidates are invited to submit their digital ads and information for approval to post on the LCDC social media platforms.
Voters are encouraged to seek information on Democratic candidate’s websites, printed materials, and social media platforms to make informed voting decisions. The official Facebook page and Twitter page of the LCDC is https://www.facebook.com/libertycountydemocraticparty and @LCGADemocrats, respectively.
