The Jolt: Georgia Democrats' top executive plans to step down
Georgia Democrats are retooling for the 2022 campaign.
The party’s executive director, credited alongside chairwoman Nikema Williams for leading the organization’s 2020 strategy, is transitioning out of the role. Scott Hogan will stay on as a senior adviser and help pick his successor.
Hogan, a veteran of the Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton campaigns, was hired in June 2019 after running statewide campaigns in South Carolina and Utah in the previous cycle.
Though he was a constant presence on the campaign trail, Hogan preferred the behind-the-scenes role leading the party’s fundraising strategy, helping to develop messaging and allocating resources during the epic 2020 election.
He’ll depart as the executive director who helmed the Democratic party during a campaign that resulted in Georgia flipping blue in a presidential race for the first time since 1992 and then Democratic sweeps in the U.S. Senate runoffs.
