One of my favorite Zell Miller stories, about his ‘94 re-election, from Richard Hyatt’s excellent bio of him. pic.twitter.com/3UESGPb2Z5 — Andrew DeMillo (@ademillo) March 23, 2018

We lost a patriot today. Senator Zell Miller and I had a wild exchange at the ’04 GOP convention in NY. We later exchanged letters and he was wonderfully gracious. He deserves respect for his service to the country, the military, and political life. — Chris Matthews (@HardballChris) March 23, 2018

Because of Zell’s work on the HOPE Scholarship, 1.8M Georgians have been able to attend a public college or university in GA who may not have been able to otherwise. His legacy will live on through them. We're praying for the Miller family during this very difficult time. (2/2) — David Perdue (@sendavidperdue) March 23, […]

I am deeply saddened to learn of the passing of former Governor Zell Miller. His leadership has helped generations of young Georgians build a future for themselves and our state — Drew Ferguson (@RepDrewFerguson) March 23, 2018

R.I.P. Zell Miller. Thank you for giving me HOPE! — Dar'shun Kendrick (@DarshunKendrick) March 23, 2018

Zell Miller put my four sisters and me through all of Georgia’s finest public universities. Thank you for giving us HOPE. Rest In Peace, Gov. #gapol — Bee Nguyen 🐝 (@BeeForGeorgia) March 23, 2018

It is with deep sadness to hear of the passing of my dear friend & partner Zell Miller. His contributions to GA are legendary in so many ways, especially as the author of GA's Hope Scholarship Program. May we all be inspired to continue his deeply impactful legacy of service.” pic.twitter.com/K13sZT9HLk — David Scott (@repdavidscott) […]

Rest in Peace Zell Miller. We likely won't see another like you in Georgia. https://t.co/dXD1lcHxXL — Gabriel Sterling (@GabrielSterling) March 23, 2018

With the passing of Zell Miller, Georgia has lost its finest public servant, and I have lost a great friend. https://t.co/6QJG83Z7Rc pic.twitter.com/irqoQxp5ZS — Johnny Isakson (@SenatorIsakson) March 23, 2018
