Congrats to @FVSU for their big win Saturday in the “Blue and Gold Super Bowl” clash against @AlbanyStateUniv. Hey @AlbanyStatePrez, I think the REAL blue and gold looks great in the winning column!
@SpeakerRalston has been a steadfast friend and a great citizen legislator and leader. You can see the impact of his dedication from Blue Ridge to Valdosta and everywhere in-between. Happy we can continue to work with him on behalf of this great state.
Had a great campus visit yesterday @universityofga talking with students, faculty and staff about their ideas and action around innovation and academics. Hey President Morehead, that jersey's going to fit, right? #GoDawgs
The @USGFoundation Gala raised funds last night for scholarships. Thanks to all the donors! Students, like my friend Bridget Dixon here, are a good investment! Mary and I also thank former Chancellor Steve Wrigley and Lynne and @GovKemp and Marty for supporting the cause! @BORUSG
We've been walking hand-in-hand for 50 years! Today holds many celebrations, but none more important than my 50th wedding anniversary. As I said in my speech, Mary, you're the person I've always hoped to become. I am beyond blessed! #50thanniversayjoy#truelove

Happy birthday, @VinceDooleyUGA! It was an honor to play for you and a pleasure to get to spend time with you and Barbara this week. Still a national champion at 90-years-young! #GoDawgs
Took a little off my two-seamer tonight trying to do my best to represent the outstanding students, faculty and staff of the @BORUSG. What an honor to throw out the first pitch at USG Night at the @Braves. Thanks to our partner @GeorgiaLottery for making it happen! #firstpitch
I am honored to be considered a sole finalist for Chancellor of the University System of Georgia. Through my years of public service, one of my biggest joys has been investing in the lives of the next generation of young leaders. This position would be a Capstone to that passion.
