Congrats To Mitch & People Really Do Win

Long time friend of the Morning Show Mitch Seabaugh has resigned as the Georgia State Senator for District 28 in order to accept an appointment by Governor Nathan Deal as the new Georgia Deputy State Treasurer.  We first met Mitch when he was running for his first term back in 2000.

Mitch has been a frequent guest on the Morning Show through the years, often being accompanied by his wife, Leah.  (Leah makes an outstanding rhubarb pie by the way.)  Mitch was our go-to-guy whenever there was something shaking at the state capitol, to help explain new laws that were going into effect, or the effects of redistricting.  Mitch's most recent visit was on Friday, July 1 of this year when he talked about several new laws going into effect and served as the judge of our "Great Summer Slaw-Off", a "cooking" contest of sorts.

Congratulations to Mitch on this new phase of his political career.  There will be a special election on November 8 to fill the rest of Mitch's term, which runs through December 31, 2012.  Mitch is scheduled to be with us on the Morning Show this Friday.
