Sen. Steve Gooch Applauds Legislation Establishing an “America First” Specialty License Plate

ATLANTA (Mar. 1, 2024) Majority Leader Steve Gooch (R–Dahlonega) recently celebrated the Senate’s passage of Senate Bill 507, which aims to establish a specialty “America First” license plate.

Leader Gooch expressed his support for the legislation, stating, “This license plate represents the tangible expression of patriotism and putting the needs of our country at the forefront. It provides Georgians with an opportunity to express their national pride, and underscores the importance of emphasizing domestic concerns like economic stability, national security, strong borders, and the protection of the rights of our citizens. I eagerly anticipate traversing the State of Georgia and witnessing fellow Georgians proudly celebrating our nation.”

The “America First” license plate would pay homage to the United States of America, with all proceeds directed toward the state’s general fund.
