Sen. Clint Dixon (R–Mulberry) has been appointed by Lt. Governor Burt Jones to serve as chairman of the Senate Committee on State and Local Governmental Operations.
Mulberry is one of Georgia’s newest cities, established by Georgia State Rep. Chuck Efstration, R-Dacula, just last year in response to high density development in that part of Gwinnett County.
“I am grateful to be appointed as chairman of the Senate Committee on State and Local Governmental Operations,” Dixon said. “I want to thank Lt. Governor Burt Jones for entrusting me with this important responsibility. Having served on the Gwinnett County Planning Commission and the Water and Sewer Authority, I understand the state and local government’s critical role in shaping the communities where we live and work. Our committee will work to guarantee that our state and local governments are effective, efficient, and responsive to the needs of all Georgia citizens.”
Dixon, who represents Georgia’s 45th Senate District (which includes portions of Barrow and Gwinnett County), was elected in 2020. Dixon also serves as vice chairman of the Senate Committee on Transportation, Secretary of the Senate Committee on Appropriations, an Ex-Officio member of the Senate Committees on Economic Development and Tourism and Education and Youth and a member of the Senate Committees on Rules and MARTOC.
