Ask and ye shall receive!
Got an email from Rob Teilhet’s campaign touting a list of “nearly 40 endorsements in the metro-Atlanta area alone, putting him far ahead of the competition.”
The list appears to be most, if not all, of the metro Atlanta delegation in the legislature. Also included in the list is Jim Martin. Not really surprising considering Ken Hodges (for whatever reason) gave money to Saxby.
Read the release and the complete list of names below the fold.
If anyone has any news of who has endorsed who please share them in the comments! I’d like to get a running list going of all the races and the endorsements.
Rob Teilhet Builds Extraordinary Support while in Session
Forbidden by law from accepting financial campaign contributions during session, Attorney General candidate Rob Teilhet builds powerful ground game
Smyrna, GA – As state law prohibits any seated legislator from raising campaign dollars between January 11, 2010 and the end of the legislative session, Representative Rob Teilhet has worked on raising a different kind of support–building a powerful ground game in his bid to be Georgia’s next Attorney General. In addition to the $370,000 + he has raised in monetary contributions, Representative Teilhet has amassed nearly 40 endorsements in the metro-Atlanta area alone, putting him far ahead of the competition.
“I’m honored to have the support of so many great Democratic leaders, organizations, and elected officials,” said Teilhet. “Because of my public service, my opponents in this race will have about four more months to raise funds than I will. Yet my support on the ground, in communities across the state, has been enormous. Having these longtime leaders–who truly know their voters–standing beside me is priceless.”
Adding to the dozens of previously announced endorsements from Augusta, Savannah, Midway and Sparta and the endorsement of the IBEW Local Union 613, Representative Teilhet unveiled today nearly 40 endorsements from the metro-Atlanta area, spanning Clayton, Cobb, DeKalb, Fayette, Fulton, Gwinnett, Henry and Rockdale Counties.

“It’s been inspiring to receive so much support from across the state,” said Rep. Teilhet. “Both old and new friends alike have been so helpful with their time, advice, prayers and their aggressive support. They know that preventing crime, protecting our children and fighting corruption isn’t just a job for me–it’s my life’s work.”
Teilhet’s campaign for Attorney General focuses on protecting Georgia’s children, crime prevention, ethics in government, and consumer protection. Teilhet is widely known as a champion in the General Assembly for protecting Georgians from rip-offs and con artists. He has been a reliable supporter of law enforcement and crime victims as a member of the House Judiciary Committee. Teilhet has also consistently fought for stronger ethics laws.
