Hicks resigns from DPG 1st Vice Chair race

We are all saddened. But, he says that he will remain active and visible.

Here's the text from his email:

For the sake of our Party and for the sake of unity I humbly submit my resignation for 1st Vice Chair. I do not believe that our Party should once again be split when we are all seeking the same goal: good leadership. It is not as important for me to win as it is more important that we are unified to move Georgia Democrats forward.

Though I am no longer running for office, I submit my commitment to being a part of the solutions for tomorrow. I will remain active and visible. This is Our Party. We must demonstrate strength, unity, and focus to our competitors. Together we can rebuild Our Party on strategic leadership, strong volunteerism base, and a clear message.

Tomorrow’s election results will be the dawn of a new era in the Democratic Party of Georgia. It is critical that you elect leadership that can provide sound judgment, deliver effective messaging, and can help all Democrats win. We need officers we can trust to move us to the next level of effectiveness and just representation.

I would like to sincerely thank those that encouraged me to run, those that have pledged their support, and those that were intending to vote for me. Thank you.

Democratically yours,

Darryl A. Hicks

Even as a non-participant that saddens me. I like him. But I will say that when I saw him off-stage at the forum he looked like a man with something on his mind.

This is very distressing, and as a participant this would have been one of only 2 votes I would have cast gladly..

I don't get it. It's not like the seat is uncontested now.
