Senate Recognizes GSP Officer Nathan Bradley

JaNice was happy to join the Senate in recognizing Georgia State Highway Patrol Officer Nathan Bradley on Thursday for his efforts in raising nearly $500,000 for children who lost their parents in a deadly crash last Halloween. It is truly rewarding to see such an outpouring of concern and caring from a member of our law enforcement community.

Issues of Interest

Just because we are expecting to have a quicker legislative session this year, this does not mean we will have a shortage of issues. I expect that we will be revisiting many topics addressed last year including education reform, religious liberty, the Transportation Funding Act of 2015, and a couple of issues I am not favorable toward expanding in Georgia: medical marijuana and the legalization of casino gambling. I expect the preservation of the HOPE Scholarship, teacher merit pay, and a plan to reduce the amount of student testing to also be high on the list of priorities for the session.

Rockdale Republican Party meeting will be on February 4 from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Amici’s.   All are welcome so please come early to network.  Persons interested in running for elected office in 2016 should speak with Chairman Toby Dryer at (404) 406-8739 or toby_dryer@yahoo.com  Precinct Mass Meeting kicks off the delegate selection process and is coming up on February 20th.
