The head of the Democratic Party in Georgia embraced a change to party bylaws that will make it easier for her to be replaced after an abbreviated tenure.
Democratic Party of Georgia Chairwoman Nikema Williams has faced a wave of calls from her own colleagues to step down since voters handed her party a string of losses last week.

She appeared to make key concessions to disillusioned Democrats in a letter to DPG committee members this weekend. Released on Friday, Williams’s letter endorsed changes to the bylaws making the chair a full-time, paid position.
“This is a change I’m excited about discussing with the state committee as we continue to build on our successes and move our state from periwinkle to deep blue,” Williams wrote. “It is my hope to have this process complete during the first quarter of 2025 as the 2026 election cycle is already underway!”
