ADDRESS
“You see his values
reflected in his actions.”
We need Sonny Perdue to protect our families and our Georgia values.
The way Sonny Perdue leads his life is a
testimony to his faith in God and his Values.
Karen Handel for Secretary of State
She Shares our Values
Sonny and Mary, his wife of 34 years, taught Sunday School for young
married couples, emphasizing the importance of faith in building a strong
and lasting marriage. With their own children grown, the Perdues have
served as foster parents to eight newborns awaiting adoption. As Governor
we see Sonny Perdue’s values reflected in his actions and his plan for the
future – the “Sonny Do List.”
“We must be diligent and aggressive
in protecting the interests of
Georgians, particularly our seniors
and other citizens vulnerable to scam
artists. I’ll work with Governor
Perdue to stop fraud against our
seniors - like your parents and mine.”

Karen Handel is the only candidate for Secretary of State with a detailed plan that
will protect Georgia’s elections and ensure our values and voices are represented
in government. In addition, the Securities and Regulations Division of the
Secretary of State’s office regulates everything from charitable organizations,
to cemeteries, to securities and investment advisors. Karen Handel will bring a
proactive, aggressive approach to the oversight of these areas.
