This week, Sen. Bo Hatchett (R-Cornelia) was officially sworn into the Georgia Senate to represent District 50 and received his committee assignments for the 2021 legislative session.
“I am blessed to have the opportunity to represent the community that I have called home here at the state Capitol,” said Sen. Hatchett. “I recognize that many of the issues we will take up in the coming months, particularly those related to the budget and COVID-19, will prove to be challenging. However, these are very significant issues to our communities and they deserve our full attention.”
Hatchett will serve as a member of the Senate Agriculture and Consumer Affairs, Ethics, Government Oversight, Health and Human Services, and Judiciary Committees.
The freshman senator thanked his supporters for the opportunity to serve and said he’s looking forward to a productive legislative session.
“I look forward to upholding the promises I have made to my fellow Georgians and will use my platform on these committees to make Georgia the best state it can be.”
Hatchett was elected to the Georgia Senate in 2020 after facing a contentious primary battle against fellow Republican and Habersham Countian, Stacy Hall.
The 156th General Assembly convened its forty-day legislative session on Monday, January 11. Gov. Brian Kemp delivered his State of the State address to lawmakers on January 14.
