Jane Kidd will not run for a second term as state Democratic Party chairwoman, she said Tuesday.
Kidd, a former public relations professional who was elected to the volunteer position in 2007, said she needs a paying job that involves public service.
"I'm looking at a lot of options," she said. "I don't have any specific plans right now."
As the leader of the state party, Kidd played a major role in the relatively successful 2008 election, when Barack Obama was the first Democratic presidential candidate with a competitive campaign in Georgia since 1996 and U.S. Senate nominee Jim Martin pushed Republican incumbent Saxby Chambliss into a runoff. Eighteen counties flipped from red to blue.
