ATLANTA (April 11, 2025) — Sen. Kenya Wicks (D–Fayette), who represents Georgia’s 34th Senate District, spoke about her first legislative session under the Gold Dome. As a freshman senator, Wicks described the 2025 Legislative Session as “an incredible experience” and expressed her deep gratitude for the mentorship and support from Democratic leadership and colleagues.
“This session, I introduced Senate Bills 190, 236, and 273 and co-authored SB 26 and SB 85. I also was proud to introduce Senate Resolution 141, which dedicated a road for former Senator Valencia Seay. I would not have been unable to do this without my team and the incredible mentorship and support I received from Democratic leadership and my colleagues. Together, we passed a state budget including $19.5 million for student mental health support and additional funding to expand access to the HOPE Scholarship.”
Sen. Wicks continued by speaking on her plans for the interim and thanking her constituents. “Constituent services remain at the forefront of my priorities—alongside veterans’ affairs, seniors’ rights, workforce development, education and economic growth. I’m committed to continuing the fight for the people of District 34 and all Georgians. To my constituents, thank you for trusting me to be your voice. I came to the Gold Dome ready to work, and I’m just getting started.”
