On March 1, 2022, my husband Dale and I hosted a lunch reception and talk with Herschel Walker at our home in Sawgrass Country Club to a sold-out audience.
Walker announced his run for the U.S. Senate from Georgia on Aug. 24, 2021.
Considered by many to be the greatest college football player of all time, Walker helped the Bulldogs win the 1980 National Championship in his freshman year. This amazing athlete finished his college career by winning the 1982 Heisman Trophy. In 1999, he was selected as the greatest player in college football in the last half-century and was voted into the College Football Hall Of Fame.
Walker gave a wonderful talk on a beautiful Florida day in a perfect outdoor setting. The former Georgia football hero was joined by his wife Julie who has joined him on the campaign trail. This engaging candidate spoke about his faith, his run for the U.S. Senate and why he is in the contest to represent the people of Georgia.
“I am running because it is time for me to get out and fight for our country,” he said. “I have lived the American dream; it is time for me to help someone else. We are all Americans. We need to come together.”
