Members of the Cobb County Democratic Committee, including representatives of the 11th Congressional District that covers East Cobb, are in attendance this week in Chicago at the Democratic National Convention.
They include second vice-chair Erika Bailey, who said in a CDCC release that “the energy is unbelievable” and that “I will never forget this experience.”
Marshall, who along with Vice President Kamala Harris is also a member of the Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority, has made it a point to meet as many other delegates as possible.
Treasurer Sharon Marshall met with U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock at a Georgia delegation breakfast. “He told us, ‘Infrastructure is spiritual. We are the country that built the interstate highway. We have to work together.’ ”
On Tuesday, the Georgia delegation cast its votes for the ticket of Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, following a memorable introduction by Atlanta rapper Lil Jon.
Marshall is a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha, the same sorority that Harris belonged to during her college days. On Thursday night, Harris will accept the Democratic nomination for president, following President Joe Biden’s decision last month not to seek re-electdion.
“Nominating Kamala Harris as the first black woman and first Asian American nominee for president is an honor I will carry with me for the rest of my life,” Marshall said. “Our state is showing up and showing out at the DNC. I have never been prouder to be from Georgia!”
Cobb Democrats and the Young Democrats of Cobb will be hosting a watch party Thursday from 7-11 p.m. Details and required pre-registration can be found at this link.
