![]() ![]() Yesterday, we celebrated our 26th wedding anniversary - and I can assure you that NONE of this was ever Steve’s plans! I love him for so very many reasons. There are so many people to thank, and that starts with Steve. We will do what we’ve done every other time God has led us down a different road. ![]() I do not know what the future holds for me and Steve. That’s why we must all recommit ourselves to giving hope, creating opportunity, and building a better America for our fellow Americans -and to doing so with grace, humility, heart, and compassion. While our country and hardworking families here in the 6th District and across the country are doing better, these remain challenging times with too much anger and animosity. I've done my absolute best to do that – every moment of every day. When I was elected last year, I promised to give you my all in representing you and the entire District. So, Steve and I will be put our faith in Him and trust that whatever lies ahead will be exactly what we need. Sometimes, though, HIS plan and our plan are different. God has a plan for each and every one of us. We’re a country that encourages and rewards hard work.Īnd in this country, no loss, no failure, is ever final nor is it the end. In this great nation, the least among us have opportunities to offer our best. My story underscores just how exceptional this country is. And, for the last year and a half, you gave me the high honor – the incredible privilege – of serving you as your representative in Congress. You gave me the honor of serving as Chairman of the Fulton Commission, as Secretary of State. This country has enabled me to follow my dreams personally and professionally. In no other nation in the world could a girl leave home at 17 – finish school on her own and then work her way up – and have the incredible opportunities that I have had. While Tuesday’s loss is indeed disappointing, there is much for which we can and should be grateful. Congratulations to Representative-Elect Lucy McBath and send her only good thoughts and much prayer for the journey that lies ahead for her. McBath dismissed all of Handel's attacks as "baseless."Īfter carefully reviewing all of the election results data, it is clear that I came up a bit short on Tuesday. ![]() Handel said those details showed McBath would not be good steward of taxpayer money. She had dinged McBath’s ties to Michael Bloomberg and Hillary Clinton, as well as tax exemptions she and her husband received in Cobb County while also owning property in Tennessee. McBath voted early, while Handel voted Tuesday morning at their Roswell precinct.ĭuring a brief interview after casting her ballot, Handel touted her longtime ties to the area and expressed confidence going into the final hours of the race. “To pull herself out of such tragedy and run to do something about it.” As a candidate, she’s amazing,” Freeman said. Gun control has been the central tenet of her campaign, and it resonated with supporter Beth Freeman, who was one of several women wearing red “Moms Demand Action” T-shirts at McBath watch party. She lost her teenage son to gun violence in 2012 and is a breast cancer survivor. McBath, a gun control advocate and former flight attendant, has spent much of her campaign sharing her personal story to make the case for why she should be in Congress. Handel staked her first reelection campaign on some of the GOP's big-ticket legislative items, including the tax law, school safety grants and response to the opioid crisis. "There’s no doubt (Trump) is a huge part of why there’s this much activism, this much concern about the country, why so many people for example in the 6th District who may have voted Republican historically are questioning their political identity and asking whether the GOP under Donald Trump really reflects our values," Ossoff said.
