Tomlinson, one of four top Democrats in the race, sought to rebrand her campaign this week with a video dubbed "Georgia Gumption." In the ad, she tells supporters: "We're coming to Washington, D.C. and we're packing a whole lot of Georgia gumption and we're finally going to see them sweat."

Their departures were much quieter than another former Tomlinson deputy who left the campaign. Edana Walker, Tomlinson's former finance director, blasted the Democrat's "thoughtless and cruel" behavior in November after she was let go.

As the May primary nears, Tomlinson faces increasing pressure from top rivals in the contest: Business executive Sarah Riggs Amico, Clarkston Mayor Ted Terry and investigative journalist Jon Ossoff.
