Points of Light CEO Michelle Nunn will formally announce Tuesday that she’ll be running as a Democratic candidate in Georgia’s 2014 senate race, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
In an interview with the newspaper published Monday, Nunn said she was excited to contribute to the state and vowed to work for bipartisan progress in the Senate.
“Part of what I bring to the table, and what Georgians are eager for, is coming together. They’re tired of the partisanship, tired of what feels like political infighting versus actually trying to accomplish things,” Nunn told the Journal-Constitution. “I’ve had the chance to work with President George H.W. Bush. I sat on a council on volunteerism for George W. Bush. I believe in showing respect for our presidents across party lines. I think we do a disservice when we’re not willing to do that.”
