Maggie Martinez

Statement from Maggie Martinez:

Maggie Martinez is stepping
down from the United State
Senate Race

It is with great regret that I announce my retirement
from the United States Senate campaign. I have
learned a lot and have been honored to meet the
beautiful people from the state of Georgia. Whether it
was the young, old, women, men, African-Americans,
or Hispanics, I could see the great diversity that
Georgia has to offer and what makes this state
strong. We have more things in common than things
that divide us. We share the same concerns of where
this nation is heading, and the good thing about this
election year is that we are asking tough questions
and listening carefully to elect the best candidates.

Unfortunately, our current system carries a heavy
burden on the ability to raise the funds to compete
with an entrenched Republican incumbent Senator.
After evaluating the situation prior to qualifying, it is in
the best interest of our party that we narrow the field
and remember that our opponent is Saxby
Chambliss and not one another. I will, therefore,
suspend all campaign operations so that we can
have a healthy primary and our resources can be
concentrated on electing a Democratic Senator for
Georgia.

I will continue to remain active and advocate for the
ideals we hold true. The stories I have heard as I
traveled the state, the change that is wanted in every
town I visit, and the high energy from Democrats and
Independents will stay with me and give me the
strength to continue supporting our values.

I want to publicly thank my campaign team and the
committed supporters of our campaign, including
Maritza Calderon, Gail Pope, Elyzabeth Armstrong,
Flor Hernandez, Jose Alayon, George Andujar, Nancy
Cardona, Sergio Estevez and my husband Pedro L.
Maldonado for all their help and commitment with this
campaign.
