On Thursday, I was joined by nearly all of my fellow Georgia Congressional Delegation Members in a resolution honoring the life of University of Georgia (UGA) Coach Vince Dooley.
An incredible athlete and a legendary leader, Coach Dooley led the Georgia Bulldogs to six SEC championships, was voted “SEC Coach of the Year” five times, and a national championship for UGA. He built the Bulldogs program into what it is today, shaping the lives of countless people along the way. Coach Dooley served his state in several other ways, including as a Georgia Historical Society Trustee. It was a pleasure working with my friend Coach Dooley over the years, most recently to preserve the American Revolutionary War Kettle Creek battlefield site. He has undoubtedly left a lasting impact on the Great State of Georgia’s history, people, and culture.
Thank you again to my colleagues for their support in honoring Coach Dooley's legacy.
