On a farm, nothing is guaranteed. Only when you get pushed to the brink do you know what you are capable of doing.
I loved the farm, and it made me who I am. But I had big dreams. I packed my bags and left the farm to head to college.
It didn't come easy. I waited tables to make ends meet. And we had to take risks — including mortgaging my family's land to help me earn an MBA.
Maybe I was a little less polished or had fewer connections, than most of my classmates in business school when I arrived. But they weren't farm kids - so I had to work harder. It's what I knew how to do.
That’s the mindset I brought to nearly three decades in business, too. By the time I got the call from Governor Kemp to serve in the Senate, I had started businesses, created hundreds of jobs, and sat on the board of community organizations all over Georgia.
I walked away from my life as a businesswoman to serve my fellow Georgians. And I’ve brought that same farm-girl attitude to Washington.
I came to Washington to shake up the status quo, and I’ve worked hard to get results for Georgians.
During my short time in office, I have:
- fought to defend the unborn
- stood up to the Chinese Communist Party
- rushed relief to those who are struggling as a result of the COVID-19 crisis
- worked overtime to reignite and restore our economy
- fought for President Trump’s Keep America Great Agenda
I’ll never stop working for you and I’ll never let the Establishment beat me — it’s not in my DNA to give in.
