Jane Kidd for US Senate? Draft Jane Website Appears
According to a tip from a reader, Democratic Party of Georgia Chairwoman Jane Kidd is being encouraged by some anonymous people to run for US Senate against US Sen. Johnny Isakson (R-GA) in 2010. The Draft Jane website appears at draftjanekidd.com. I can’t tell you much about Jane Kidd, except that she seems very personable. When I watched the DPG Chair candidate videos back in the day, I made that observation. On whether she’s progressive or not I have no data at this time.
From the website:

Everyone knows this will be an uphill battle. But, Jane Kidd has never backed down from a hard fight before. Jane is a proven leader who has always fought for what she believed in, no matter what the odds.
Daughter of Governor Ernest Vandiver and grand-niece of US Senator Richard B. Russell, Jane comes from a family of fighters. At the age of 27 she won her first election on the Lavonia City Council, where Jane would serve three terms.
In 2004, Jane was a rising star in the Democratic Party as a newly elected State Representative. In 2006, Jane launched her campaign for State Senate despite a Republican redistricting to keep her out. Jane didn’t back down and ran one of the best grassroots campaigns Georgia had seen.
The Republicans could not silence Jane with the gerrymandered district. Building off her campaign, Jane came from behind in a heavily contested election to become Chair of the Democratic Party of Georgia in 2007. Jane has served tirelessly with the commitment of transforming grassroots politics statewide.
We need a leader who will fight for us in the Senate. Georgia needs a voice again.
We need to draft Jane Kidd for US Senate.
