Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, today, I rise with great sadness to express the loss of a true public servant. Longtime Lula councilwoman and Mayor Pro Tem Vicky Chambers sustained serious injuries when a drunk driver hit her car head-on on January 18. Tragically, Vicky succumbed to her injuries several days later. She served Hall County and Banks County in many capacities for well over a decade, including years on the Lula City Council. Vicky was well known for her volunteer activity. She generously gave her time to the Lula Area Betterment Association, the Lula Downtown Development Authority, Hall County and Banks County cemetery restoration, area animal rescue, and the Lula Historical Society. Lula will miss Vicky's compassion, her optimism, and smiling face, but her legacy will live on in the northeast Georgia town she clearly loved. My wife, Lisa--whose home town is Lula--and I express our extended heartfelt prayers and condolences to Vicky's family, friends, and colleagues during this very difficult time. It is in tragedies like this that we remember public servants serve first those around us, and when they are gone, they are missed. Vicky, we will miss you. ____________________”
