Cathy Cox will return to her small-town roots Tuesday to officially launch her campaign to become Georgia's first female governor.

Cox, 46, is serving her second term as secretary of state, and will start her campaign in Bainbridge, where she grew up. Her late father, Walter, once served as mayor there and represented the area 16 years in the state Legislature.

"I will reach out to Georgians in every part of the state," Cox said in a statement. "That's why it's wonderfully appropriate to begin this journey in the place and with the people who taught me everything I know about leadership and public service."

The campaign kickoff will be in Willis Park in downtown Bainbridge at 4 p.m.
