Former Gov. Nathan Deal

.@GAFirstLadyDeal and I are so proud of all that's been accomplished during my time in office, as well as all those who have worked hard to make Georgia an even better place to call home. May God continue to bless our great state.

Congratulations once again to @GovKemp on his election and inauguration. I believe Georgia's best days are ahead and I look forward to Georgia's continued prosperity in the years to come.

I'd like to thank the people of Georgia for their support over the last eight years. Serving as Georgia's governor has truly been a humbling honor.

During my time in office, @GDECD’s Global Commerce Division has brought more than 227,000 jobs and $43.3 billion of investment to Georgia communities. Thank you to our GDEcD partners who have worked exceptionally hard to make Georgia the No. 1 state for business and opportunity.

I was honored to join state officials and @AUG_University leaders for the ribbon-cutting of the Shaffer-MacCartney Building of the @GACyberCenter last night. This facility will inspire the next generation of leaders to protect our nation, our businesses and our people.

Thank you for the kind tribute, Rep. Ferguson. It's been an honor to work alongside you and the rest of Georgia's congressional delegation to make our state the No. 1 place for business.
