Sen. Randy Robertson Ranked Among Georgia’s Most Effective Lawmakers During 2023-2024 Biennium

ATLANTA (May 13, 2025) — Majority Whip Sen. Randy Robertson (R–Cataula) was recently recognized as one of the most effective legislators in the Georgia General Assembly during the 2023-2024 Legislative Biennium, according to a nonpartisan evaluation conducted by the Center for Legislative Accountability (CLA). The report assigned Sen. Robertson an effectiveness score of 3.11, more than three times the legislative average of 1.0.

Sen. Robertson reflected on the recognition and reaffirmed his dedication to the constituents of Senate District 29, “I’m proud to see our work acknowledged. But more than just a number, this rating represents my continued commitment to delivering real results for the people I serve. I’m especially proud of the passage and signing of Senate Bill 159, which prohibits wireless communications and stand-alone electronic devices behind guard lines in our correctional institutions. I’m also pleased to have successfully advanced SB 37, SB 63, SB 92, SB 95, SB 332, SB 342, SB 424, and SB 517. Fighting for Georgians and producing tangible outcomes remains my top priority, and I’m honored to work alongside my colleagues in the Senate to make that happen.”

The CLA’s annual effectiveness report assesses all state lawmakers based on key indicators that measure their ability to sponsor, advance and pass legislation through the General Assembly. Criteria include the number of bills a legislator sponsors, how far those bills progress through the legislative process and how many ultimately become law.
