Alderwoman Mary Osborne Endorses Haines

Savannah Alderwoman Mary Osborne announced today that she would be endorsing Doug for 12th District Democratic Primary.

"After meeting and talking with all of the Democrats running for Congress in this district, I came to the same conclusion that I know the voters will reach on July 20th. Doug Haines is the best candidate to represent not just Savannah, but people throughout the 12th District," said Osborne. "I look forward to lending my voice and my efforts to get Doug elected to Congress."

"Mary Osborne has a great record of standing up for what's right and working to make government more inclusive and open." said Doug. "I’m honored to have Mary's support in my campaign for change."

Haines Endorsed by Chair of Legislative Black Caucus

Doug announced today that he has received the endorsement of State Senator Ed Harbison (D-Columbus). Harbison, chairman of the Georgia Legislative Black Caucus, has been a State Senator since 1992.

"I’ve known Doug Haines as a legislator and as a community advocate, and there is no more passionate and committed champion for minority interests in the 12th District race," said Harbison. "Max Burns has proven himself to be no more than George Bush's yes-man. I’m proud to throw my support behind a candidate like Doug Haines who is committed to a real change in Washington, DC."

In a statement released today, Doug said, "I’m honored to have the support of Senator Harbison. Leaders like Ed are an example of the best that democracy has to offer. I’m proud to have Senator Harbison’s help in my race for Congress, and I know his friendship and input will prove crucial when I am elected to Congress."
