Terry Holley: trying once again to disunite Democrats
Grovetown's Terry Holley decided to waste time and miles driving around the 10th district to get stomped by Bobby Saxon in next June's primary. To be fair, Holley has not declared his candidacy yet, only that he has an exploratory committee. I will not support him, unless Bobby Saxon drops dead or something. Something tells me the third time will not be the charm for Holley, as he ran in 2006 and 2007. Holley preached well to the choir, but did not convert many believers. Holley lost to Charlie Norwood in the 2006 General Election and lost to James Marlow in the run up to the special election. Holley is the 10th district Democratic Congressional district chair, which he has to give up again, and is a very nice person but does not inspire great deal of confidence or "elect-a-bility." He seems woefully underfunded, understaffed and not very web savvy. He could serve his would-be constituents a whole lot better by working behind the scenes to raise money for legitimate candidates like Saxon. Holley issued a press release today which has already been roundly scorned in this part of the district.

Terry Holley announces Congressional Campaign Exploratory Committee
EVANS, GA - - Former 2006 Congressional Candidate Terry Holley today announced his formation of a Congressional Campaign Exploratory Committee.
"I would like to take this opportunity to express to you my gratitude for the support you have shown since 2006. We had a great team of supporters; I was privileged to meet hundreds of families and neighbors from Lavonia to Augusta. I also want to thank Young Democrats of Georgia for their support and energizing the youth base in Georgia. I am still overwhelmed that 57,032 voters trusted me with their votes.
In 2006, Georgia remained a Republican stronghold while Democrats delivered a massive victory all across America. We need to elect a strong common sense Democrat who will bring leadership, commitment, and integrity back to Georgia. It is going to be a hard passage and I cannot bring this change alone. I need your support to create a majority Democratic delegation in Washington. In the coming weeks I will be traveling around the 10 th Congressional District, listening to your concerns, discussing critical issues faced by our district, and working hard to build our democratic base."
"As this campaign develops, I look forward to meeting each and every one of you in person and sharing my vision for the future of our district and our nation. God Bless you and God Bless America."
Mr. Holley is the current 10th District Congressional Chair for the Democratic Party of Georgia and serves on the State Executive Committee. He is a resident of Columbia County and has been involved in many different capacities within the Democratic Party. Mr. Holley is also very active in his Church and was a Public School Teacher for 11 years.
