Happy birthday, @USMC! The United States Marine Corps has protected freedom in the air, on land, and at sea both at home and abroad for 251 years. We are grateful for their sacrifices today and every day.

Marty and I were proud to host the 2026 State of Georgia Veterans Day Ceremony this morning.

We will always support the brave men and women of our Armed Forces and their families whose sacrifices allow us to live in freedom.

I’ve declared a state of emergency for Fannin, Gilmer, Murray, and Union Counties following the flash flood emergencies that occurred overnight. As emergency personnel continue to respond, this will ensure all necessary resources are available to assist these communities impacted by the flooding.

Tune in live on Facebook at 10am for the State of Georgia's 2026 Veterans Day Ceremony at the State Capitol.

The state is actively responding to the flooding in NW Georgia. @GeorgiaEMAHS is leading a multi-agency response including @ga_dps and @GaDNRLE, using both aviation and boat assets, as well as local counties and Tennessee first responders. This is an ongoing flash flood emergency, and if you are in the impacted area, seek higher ground and listen to your local emergency officials.

Exciting morning with @GaPorts at the Gainesville Inland Port ribbon cutting! As companies and communities continue to grow across the state, this facility will ensure more efficient transport of cargo and ease strain on our highways, serving both businesses and travelers.

From natural disasters to daily emergencies, our first responders answer without hesitation. Today, we honor the firefighters, law enforcement officers, EMTs, 911 operators, paramedics, and others who put the needs of others before themselves to keep our communities safe.
