SAVANNAH, GA (WTOC) -

Some more popular politicians were also in the hostess city on Saturday to help open the Democratic party's office in Savannah.

Congressman James Clyburn, plus local leaders, like Mayor Edna Jackson were on hand for the grand opening.

Many believe the new office will have a big impact in this part of the state.

Chairman Mike Berlon of the Democratic party of Georgia says, "the idea is we've got to get back to our roots. We have not really been actively involved in areas outside of Atlanta in a long time, and I think this is the first step to reclaim Georgia for the Democrats." @

Folks will staff the office after undergoing intensive training by the Democratic party of Georgia.
