Fellow Conservative,
During my first term as governor, First Lady Marty Kemp created the Georgians for Refuge, Action, Compassion, and Education (GRACE) Commission to fight the evil of human trafficking.
Tragically, countless victims across our state have fallen into the hands of evil, modern-day slave traders – and it often happens right in front of us. The GRACE Commission educates citizens on how to recognize and report suspected human trafficking and promotes bipartisan legislation that cracks down on these perpetrators.
First Lady Marty Kemp has led the GRACE Commission for the past four years and I couldn’t be prouder of the incredible work she’s doing to bring together public servants, healthcare professionals, and faith-based organizations to advocate for the victims of human trafficking.
Earlier this week, the First Lady announced the appointment of four new members to the GRACE Commission, including Lieutenant Governor Burt Jones, Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) Director Mike Register, Department of Corrections Commissioner Tyrone Oliver, and Department of Juvenile Justice Interim Commissioner Shawnda Reynolds-Cobb.

I’d like to commend every member of the GRACE Commission for their outstanding leadership on this important issue.
- Governor Brian Kemp
