When Governor Kay Ivey in 2018 became the first Republican woman to ever be elected governor of Alabama, she took the stage to the country staple “This One’s for the Girls” ringing out in the background.
However, Ivey’s status as a role model for girls across Alabama has very much been in the forefront during her tenure as the state’s chief executive.
There may be no greater evidence of this than one young Alabamian’s choice for her Halloween outfit this year.
Missy Carter on Tuesday posted a picture to Twitter of her “adorable niece,” who opted to be Ivey’s “mini-me for her school costume party.”
Ivey was quick to respond to the tweet, saying the girl, “Nailed it…to a T.”
Nailed it…to a T! I know she will be successful. ? #WarEagle

CBS 42 has since reported that the girl, Cate McGriff, is nine-years-old and lives in Rainbow City.
The original tweet has caught the attention of many across Alabama already, with Lt. Governor Will Ainsworth calling the outfit “great,” for example.
