Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp Appoints Kelly Loeffler to US Senate

Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp tapped financial services executive Kelly Loeffler to the state’s soon-to-be vacated Senate seat

EXCERPT:

LOEFFLER: "Good morning. I want to start this morning by thinking Governor Kemp for this important opportunity to serve our nation and our state. I am humbled by this honor and I am grateful for the confidence that you've placed in me. Thank you, Governor. Thank you. I'd also like to thank Senator Isakson for his years of service to our state and our nation. He's a true statesman for Georgia and we keep him and his family in our thoughts and prayers. I know I have a lot of work to do to earn the trust and support of my fellow Georgians. So for starters, please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Kelly Loeffler. I'm a devoted wife, a proud patriot, and a devout Christian. I have lived the American dream and I am blessed to stand here today, but it is a long way from where I came from. I grew up on a family farm, the fourth generation of corn and soybean farmers. I was shy, I had braces on my legs. We lived simply. Life revolved around farming, church, school and 4-H. There was a rhythm to our lives.”
