Gwinnett Democratic Party Chairman Steve Deak stated:
“We are delighted to have Ms. Radloff switch to the Democratic Party. She has served this county’s public school system for almost four decades and has worked tirelessly on behalf of the children of Gwinnett County.”
Steve Reilly, the 7th Congressional District chairman of the Democratic Party said that
“Louise Radloff has been the finest public servant Gwinnett County has seen over the past forty years. Ms. Radloff has been instrumental in building and maintaining our great public school system. Her devotion to public education makes her a natural fit as a Democrat.”

Regarding her reelection announcement as a Democrat, Ms. Radloff stated:
“I remain driven to help maintain the superior public school system we have in Gwinnett County. Education is the key to our future. The Democratic Party is and has been focused on supporting public education, which makes me comfortable running as a Democrat.”
