These areas of legislation are ones that I do not take lightly. Because of this, it will be my top priority to work alongside my fellow committee members to ensure each piece of legislation that comes before our committee is adequately vetted to best serve the needs of all Georgians. I want to extend my warmest gratitude to Lt. Governor Burt Jones and the Senate Committee on Assignments for giving me the opportunity to continue to serve in this capacity and I look forward to what is to come during the 2023 Legislative Session.”
