KEMP: "Well, like I said, we’re moving forward, the elections over with, its been a long, tough process. I certainly appreciate Stacey Abrams tenacity, how hard she worked, the campaign she ran, she’s a very tough competitor but I’m proud of what we did as well. We got more votes than any governor in Georgia history and I’m proud of that. Our folks are proud of that, but now, we’re going to move forward I’ve been running on a consistent message to put hard work in Georgia first for almost two years now. I’m ready to get to work cutting taxes, focusing on healthcare, especially rural healthcare, making Georgia number one for small business all the things we talked about strengthening rural Georgia that’s exactly what we’re going to do. My message has never wavered and now, it’s time to get working on the transition, put good people in place that will work with the legislature and other parties involved including our citizens to move forward."
REPORTER: "She’s going to continue and file another lawsuit. What would be your message to her?"
KEMP: "Look the campaigns over with I’m moving forward. I’m going to be the governor. We’ve got a very short time to transition and get ready to lead this state to build off the great work that’s been done, but quite honestly great governors before me. That is what my focus is on that’s what it will be on, and we’re ready to go to work."
