Ivey expressed her gratitude to the committee co-chairs and proclaimed that the inauguration will mark “a new beginning for state government.”
“I would like to thank the honorary co-chairs for their willingness to step up and provide leadership for the state in their role for the inaugural committee,” said Ivey in a release. “Inauguration day is a new beginning for state government, and I look forward to working with this team as we begin another four-year term and ensure that the best is yet to come for the great state of Alabama.”
