A state Democratic Party mailing includes images from protests prompted by Brown's shooting, including a photo of two young black children holding up signs saying "Don't Shoot." [...] Republicans have also launched a statewide minority outreach effort led by Leo Smith, Georgia GOP's director of minority engagement who's been traveling the state to meet with community groups and touting the party's commitment to creating jobs and criminal justice reform. Smith notes the political power structure in Ferguson is largely Democratic, although some of the frustrations during the protests were over a lack of black police officers and elected officials in the town.
