“I knew David would do an amazing job in the Senate
and still does,” Sec. Perdue said. “He still continues to
advocate for things he came for. It’s a seductive place
up here and you can get compromised really quickly.
And I am just extremely proud of David holding true to
his promises for the people of Georgia. We take these
stewardships very seriously. We want to make our
family proud and people proud of morale and ethical
decisions we make for Georgia and the U.S.”
“I think one of the blessings that we have is, it’s
unusual to have two contemporary family members
involved in different ways like this,” Sen. Perdue
said. “I enjoy watching Sonny work in the President’s
cabinet. I watch how that leadership flows through
that room, and how it benefits of our farmers around
the country. Life experiences are what we bring up
here, but we also bring the humility. I see so many
people here in this town who kind of lose sight of
who they are and where they came from. Sonny and
I attend Bible studies led by our different committees
and it’s important. It keeps our feet on the ground and
lets us know who is really in charge here.”
Left – During Sonny’s
confirmation process for
Secretary of Agriculture,
he had “Georgia on his
mind” the whole time,
as he wore his favorite
boots with the state
emblem on them.
Bottom – Before Sonny
headed to Washington
D.C. for his new position,
Secretary of Agriculture,
his family and friends
held a service at his
son’s church, Pastor Jim
Perdue, Second Baptist
in Warner Robins, to
pray for him and his wife
Mary.
