Hatchett again named Senate Floor Leader by Gov. Kemp

District 50 State Senator Bo Hatchett has again been tapped by Gov. Brian Kemp to serve as one of his Senate Floor Leaders.

Hatchett, who served as floor leader during last year’s legislative session, will help steer the governor’s agenda through the legislative process. The senator from Cornelia is entering the second year of his two-year term. He recently announced plans to seek re-election.

Hatchett will serve as floor leader alongside Dist. 45 State Sen. Clint Dixon (R-Buford) and Dist. 8 State Sen. Russ Goodman (R-Homerville), both of whom Kemp also reappointed.

“I am proud to announce these great public servants as my floor leaders for the 2022 legislative session of the Georgia General Assembly,” said Kemp in making his announcement Wednesday. “Throughout my first term, we have made great strides to put hardworking Georgians first, keep the Peach State the number one state for business, expand opportunity for rural Georgia, eradicate criminal street gangs in our communities, and fight human trafficking. I am confident these outstanding legislators will help carry that important work forward, and I appreciate their commitment to the people of Georgia.”

The governor also released the names of his 2022 Georgia House of Representatives Floor Leaders. They are Dist. 72 Rep. Josh Bonner (R-Fayetteville); Dist. 122 Rep. Jodi Lott (R-Evans); Dist. 26 Rep. Lauren W. McDonald III (R-Cumming); and Dist. 178 Rep. Steven Meeks (R-Screven).

The 2022 legislative session is scheduled to convene on January 10.
