Georgia's Junior Senator Shaped by Georgia Roots
In Washington the Columbus Ledger-Enquirer recalls Georgia's Richard L. Russell Jr. as a personable, hardworking figure whose rise to power stemmed from tireless work and natural charm. Born on a farm near Winder, he grew up with home tutoring and public school, then studied law at the University of Georgia. He became governor at thirty, then a senator, admired for his easy smile and rapport with others. Outside, he hunts and enjoys outdoor life, hoping to bag a bear. The piece notes his ability to break a deadlock over the five billion relief bill and credits his personal magnetism for his swift ascent.
