Governor Brian Kemp today announced his administration’s floor leaders for the upcoming legislative session. Newly-elected District 50 State Senator Bo Hatchett is among them.
Hatchett will serve alongside Senators Clint Dixon (R-Buford) and Russ Goodman (R-Homerville) to advance the governor’s legislative agenda in the State Senate.
Hatchett continues Habersham County’s representation at the floor leader level. District 10 State Representative Terry Rogers (R-Clarkesville) has served as House Floor Leader for the past several years. He chose not to run for re-election. Roger’s term expires at midnight.
Kemp’s new House floor leaders are Dominic LaRiccia (R-Douglas), Jodi Lott (R-Evans), Bert Reeves (R-Marietta), and Josh Bonner (R-Fayetteville).
In making the New Year’s Eve announcement, Gov. Kemp touted as accomplishments his administration’s efforts to expand access to healthcare, eradicate street gangs, and fight human trafficking. “We’ve also worked together on budgets that reflect our priorities as a state by investing in education, prioritizing a historic teacher pay raise, and strengthening public safety,” he said.
Kemp noted that his administration’s partnership with the General Assembly has been “critical” in the fight against COVID-19. “I am confident these outstanding legislators will carry that important work forward, and I appreciate their commitment to the people of Georgia.”
