Kay Ivey Takes Office As Alabama’s First Elected Female Republican Governor

January 15, 2019

Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey was sworn in Monday on the steps of the state capital for her first full term. She is the second female governor and the first elected female Republican governor in the history of the state.

“With your help — and with God’s amazing grace — the next four years will not only mark the beginning of our third century, they’ll be the foundation for our best years to come,” she said.

Ivey was lieutenant governor, when then-Gov. Robert Bentley resigned during an impeachment investigation 21 months ago.

“The people of Alabama will always be our greatest resource, as well as the fabric that holds this state together in the best of times, as well as in the most challenging of times,” Ivey said.
