From Macon.com:
Dublin state Rep. DuBose Porter filled paperwork Monday to run for governor, taking an official step toward the already crowded 2010 governor’s race.
The filing means that Porter, the Democratic party’s leader in the Georgia House of Representatives, can raise money for the new campaign.
He has two announced opponents in the Democratic primary: Macon native and retired Georgia National Guard Adjutant General David Poythress and Georgia Attorney General Thurbert Baker, who surprised some people by announcing his candidacy April 1.
“I’ve been in the trenches and know that I have brought our caucus together,” Porter said Monday. “And on the significant issues that face the state, I can bring the state together.”
