ATLANTA, Ga. – After attending the inaugural ceremony, U.S. Senator David Perdue (R-GA) congratulates Gov. Brian Kemp, Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan and other statewide constitutional officers on being sworn in.

“This is a big day for Georgia,” Perdue said. “Governor Kemp will continue the legacy of Governors Sonny Perdue and Nathan Deal that made Georgia the best state in the country in which to do business. Governor Kemp has already hit the ground running, and has shown he is ready to tackle big challenges and build on our state’s success. I could not be more proud of Brian, Marty, and their entire family, and I will work with them to continue delivering results for all Georgians.”

“What an honor to be sworn in as Georgia’s 83rd Governor,” Kemp said. “I look forward to partnering with strong leaders like David Perdue to grow the economy, roll back regulations, strengthen rural communities, and protect our families. Together, we will keep our state – and country – moving in the right direction.”
