Hi and happy Monday, friend.
BIG news coming out of Georgia - Kelly Loeffler was sworn in to fill the seat of Sen. Johnny Isakson who stepped down last year due to health concerns.

Here’s everything you need to know about Kelly:
- She’s a political outsider. Kelly grew up pulling weeds on her family’s corn and soybean farm in Illinois, then pursued a career in financial services.
- She’s conservative. When Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp appointed Kelly, she called herself “pro-Second Amendment, pro-military, pro-Wall and pro-Trump.”
- She’s a woman, and she’s only the second in history to represent Georgia in the U.S. Senate. The first woman ever elected to the U.S. Senate was from Georgia, but she served only 24 hours, so Kelly would essentially be the Peach State’s first female senator.
- She could be a symbol of what’s to come in 2020 - educated, professional women in the suburbs largely voted blue in the 2018 elections, but as more educated, professional conservative women like Kelly get elected across the nation, we could see the suburbs trend back toward the Right.
We’re working to ensure that Kelly is one of many conservatives headed to Congress this year. More on that later.
