“Our military and our country are blessed to have Senator Perdue on the Senate Armed Services Committee – especially with the top issue of our military being to replace the aging Ohio Class Submarines at Kings Bay. As a former CEO of Fortune 500 companies, his approach to modernizing the military is nothing short of revolutionary. He understands the challenges our military faces across the globe and how our allies are our greatest strength. Georgia’s military communities are in good hands with David Perdue in the Senate.” – Sheila McNeill, former national Navy League president and president of The Camden Partnership for Kings Bay
“Senator Perdue holds an important position on the Senate Armed Service Committee and is critical to protecting and empowering Georgia’s military bases representing all DOD military services. His leadership and strong support of our military communities has gained the respect of his fellow Senators during his years of service. He has a senior position on this committee that would be lost for Georgians if he were not representing the state. Georgia has held a position on the Senate Armed Services Committee since WWII, and we must not lose it. With his voice and vote, Senator Perdue is a force in the defense of our state and our great country. We need him as our Senator! – Dr. Lucy Greene, PhD Military consultant, Valdosta
