ATLANTA – Now that he’s won another term in the U.S. Senate, Georgia Republican Johnny Isakson vowed to protect the security of families, work to wipe out terrorists and to ensure government regulations are fair for businesses.
In a victory speech late Tuesday, Isakson said he will be ready to take on whatever challenges arise for the nation and for Georgia.
“I can never thank you enough for the support you’ve given me, but I can repay you by being the best man I can be in the United States Senate and delivering conservative principles to Georgia every single day,” Isakson said.
Isakson fended off two challengers to win re-election to the Senate in Tuesday’s election.
Around 10 p.m. Tuesday, Isakson said Democrat challenger Jim Barksdale had called him to concede the race and congratulate him on the victory, which Isakson said was a class act.
