Had the pleasure of meeting with the Newnan Youth Council at the Capitol last week! It’s always inspiring to see young leaders engaged in the legislative process and eager to learn about how our government works.

Members develop a deeper understanding of local and state government, participate in community initiatives, and gain valuable skills in communication and teamwork.

With the balance of the 40-day session ahead, we’ll now focus on debating and voting on each other’s bills. What an honor it is to work on legislation that best represents and serves our constituents! ... See MoreSee Less

Last week was a powerful display of service as Habitat for Humanity affiliates from across Georgia gathered at Liberty Plaza for the inaugural Habitat Capitol Build Day!
With over 100 volunteers coming together, they framed an entire home for an Atlanta-area family—right on the Capitol grounds. This is what community looks like!
Proud of Newnan’s own Councilwoman Cynthia Jenkins and Eric Miller for their impactful roles in Habitat, and grateful for all the volunteers who dedicate their time to this incredible cause. Your work is truly making a difference! ... See MoreSee Less

Honored to celebrate Gullah Geechee Day at the Capitol last week, recognizing the rich history, music, art, and cultural contributions of the Gullah Geechee people from South Carolina to Florida. These incredible storytellers, now nationally known, bring their heritage to life through powerful narratives, music, and performances. I was truly in awe of their gorgeous traditional dress, which beautifully reflects their deep-rooted culture and history.
A special thanks to Representative Carl Gilliard for leading the charge on passing House Resolution 625, which formally establishes the Gullah Geechee Heritage Society. Deep gratitude to Patt Gilliard-Gunn for her tireless work in preserving this important history through multiple organizations and initiatives. As Chairwoman of the Gullah Geechee Heritage Society, she continues to be a driving force in cultural heritage preservation, economic empowerment, and historical storytelling.
Proud to stand alongside legislators, performers, and community leaders in uplifting and celebrating this vital legacy! ... See MoreSee Less
