LITTLE TO THE SOUTH OF ATLANTA.
IT HAS BEEN A RED COUNTY FOR
LOTS OF YEARS.

NOW TO THE GOVERNOR SPEAKING AT
THE GRAND HYATT.

LIVED THE AMERICAN DREAM.
FROM BEING A FARM GIRL TO BUYING
THE NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE AND
MOVING ALL OVER THE COUNTRY.

THE FIRST MEMBER OF THEIR
FAMILY TO GRADUATE FROM COLLEGE
AND BE ABLE TO FOLLOW THEIR
DREAMS AND BE VERY SUCCESSFUL.

IN WASHINGTON OVER THESE LAST
MANY MONTHS.

WHEN I APPOINTED KELLY.
I KNEW I WAS A POINTING A
FIGHTER.
FIGHTER.
FIGHTER. I THINK WE HAVE ALL SEEN THAT.
CERTAINLY OVER THE LAST FEW
MONTHS AND THE LAST NINE WEEKS
WITH BOTH KELLY AND DAVID.
I AM GRATEFUL FOR HOW HARD THEY
HAVE FOUGHT FOR OUR STATE.
HOW HARD THEY HAVE FOUGHT TO
SAVE OUR COUNTRY AND TO BE THE
REDWALL THAT STOPS SOCIALISM
AND ALL THE MANY OTHER THINGS
THAT WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT.
CAN WE CLAP FOR THAT, PLEASE?
I WANT TO LEAVE YOU WITH JUST A
COUPLE THINGS. NUMBER ONE, I
WANT TO THANK YOU ALL ON BEHALF
OF MY FAMILY FOR YOUR THOUGHTS
AND PRAYERS.
AND PRAYERS. THIS HAS BEEN A TOUGH TIME FOR
OUR FAMILY FOR A LOT OF REASONS
, NOT JUST BECAUSE OF THE U.S.
SENATE RACE AND BUBBAS RACE.
BUT JUST BECAUSE OF WHAT WE
HAVE BEEN GOING THROUGH, WHAT
EVERY STATE HAS BEEN GOING
THROUGH WITH THE PANDEMIC,
CIVIL UNREST, UNPRECEDENTED
THINGS WE HAVE HAD TO DEAL WITH
IN OUR STATE.
THE TRAGIC LOSS OF A YOUNG LIFE

OF OUR FAMILY AND A LOVE OF

FRIENDSHIPS WITH LUCY AND OUR
FAMILY. THE ELECTED OFFICIALS
LIKE MYSELF IN HIGH PLACES.
SENATOR PERDUE, SENATOR
LOEFFLER AND MYSELF.

ALL OF US.
HE COULD GO UP AND SPEAK TO THE
SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE, A
FORMER GOVERNOR, A U.S.
SENATOR, TO A GOVERNOR, JUST
LIKE HE COULD SPEAK TO YOU.
HE WAS THE SALT OF THE EARTH.
IT HAS BEEN HEARTBREAKING FOR
OUR FAMILY, BUT IT'S ALSO BEEN
HEARTBREAKING FOR THE DEAL
