The Clinton camp unleashed a lengthy list of nearly three dozen black state legislators who endorsed her bid for the presidency in the runup to Georgia’s March 1 primary.

“For me, supporting Hillary was not a hard decision. Her record and commitment is unmatched,” said state Rep. Calvin Smyre, a Columbus Democrat and the longest-serving member of the House. “Make no mistake, no candidate, Democratic or Republican, is better prepared or positioned to serve our communities around the nation.”
