Georgia’s Republican governor-elect Brian Kemp announced his transition team Monday. Kemp is calling the group the ‘Georgians First Committee.’

He says the team will consult with Gov. Nathan Deal’s administration, the Legislature, and local leaders between now and Jan. 14 when Kemp will be sworn in as governor.

“I’m prepared to do what it takes to ensure a smooth and successful transition,” Kemp said at a press conference Monday.
