February 25, 2000 -- The presidential campaign of Democrat Bill Bradley announced the names of the Georgia steering committee today, demonstrating continued momentum in the Peach State. Bradley's Georgia steering committee includes some of the most powerful figures in the Statehouse; prominent business leaders; civic leaders; educators; former professional athletes; and religious leaders.

The Honorable John Henry Anderson and Anne Cox Chambers serve as Honorary Chairs of Bradley's Georgia campaign and agree that the campaign is "poised for victory on March 7."

"I've been involved in a lot of campaigns in my time," Mr. Anderson said. "I can’t remember a candidate with the kind of broad-based support that Bill Bradley has in Georgia and across the country."

House Appropriations Chair Terry Coleman, one of the key Bradley supporters in Georgia, agreed. "It takes a very special candidate to gather a group like this one. When was the last time you saw this many people of such diverse backgrounds support the same candidate?" asked Coleman. "I'm very proud to be a part of it."

"It is inspiring to hear a presidential candidate so concerned about poor people and race relations. Having heard Senator Bradley's important remarks on the need to face up to and end our nation’s history of discrimination, I have concluded that there is no better candidate to move our party and our nation forward," Andrew Young III, said today.
