About Us
On July 24, 2021, community leaders from across the 9th and 14th Congressional Districts of Georgia officially launched the new 501(c)(4), “North GA Democrats” (NGD).
Inspired largely by the toxic politics of Marjorie Taylor Green (R-GA 14th) and Andrew Clyde (R-GA 9th), leaders from across the region created this nonprofit to improve the representation of citizens in north Georgia.
At the inaugural meeting, NGD Chairman Tom McMahan spoke about the plan to develop a stronger, more informed citizenry in the region. “The extremism currently on display by North Georgia’s members of Congress has been noticed around the world. There has never been a greater need than there is now.” Joining him on the executive committee are David Boyle as vice-chair, and Debby Peppers as treasurer.
Former NGD Director Ruth Demeter stated “People want choice in the political arena. It is important that citizens have strong candidates across the spectrum to choose from; without choices, voters do not have the opportunity to fully participate in democracy. The world is watching the disastrous behavior of our current representatives. This organization will give people a way to bolster the democratic process across the top of the state.”
Our organization will focus on voter education and outreach, issue-based advocacy, and building civil discourse to improve the representation of all of North Georgia’s citizens. All members of the North Georgia community interested in changing the political landscape in our region are encouraged to follow us on all of our socials for updates.
Donations to our organization can be made online.
