Teachers and the Ballot Box
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The Georgia Association of Educators likes Mark Taylor for Gov. Here’s Jim Tharpe and Bridget Gutierrez’s story about the endorsement. Cathy Cox’s team says she has plenty of teachers on her side. Gov. Sonny Perdue didn’t fill out the 40,000-member group’s questionaire. His spokesman said it was because Perdue has no opposition in the primary. PAGE - Georgia’s larger advocacy group - doesn’t endorse candidates. Its spokesman, Tim Callahan, sent out a news release chiding GAE for its “Teachers Back Taylor” press release headline, noting that neither group speaks for all the state’s educators.
Teachers, you helped send Roy Barnes packing. You’re a powerful lot. Who do you like for governor this time around?
