Speaker Jon Burns Issues Statement on Georgia Supreme Court Ruling

The House Republican Caucus is celebrating major victories, including holding the majority with convincing wins for incumbents in swing districts, and a victory at the top of the ticket for President Donald Trump. “Republican House members have focused on the issues that matter to Georgia voters, cutting taxes for families facing rising costs, keeping communities safe and investing in our children’s education,” Speaker Jon Burns said. “While final counts are still being tallied in Democrat held seats, we are honored by this clear vote of confidence from Georgians.” After last year’s redistricting ruling that reduced the number of Republican seats, House Republicans will hold at least 100 seats headed into the next legislative Session. There are two additional minority majority districts that have less than a 300 vote margin. “We’ve shown the country that Georgia remains a red state, with big wins up and down the ticket,” said Speaker Pro Tem Jan Jones. “We will take this mandate from the voters to continue lowering taxes, protecting our neighborhoods and quality of life and providing more options for Georgia’s students to thrive.” “Washington Democrats’ radical policies have led to spiraling inflation, crime and illegal immigration,” said Majority Leader Chuck Efstration, “and Georgia’s voters know that the only remedy are conservative principles. We’ve led and we’ve delivered on those principles, and the people of Georgia showed tonight they think our state is headed in the right direction even if they think the country isn’t.” “Our caucus has never worked harder to raise the resources needed to not only defend seats in a competitive environment but also go on offense against Democrats, and that effort has paid off,” said Caucus Chairman Bruce Williamson. “I’m incredibly grateful for all of the support we received and so proud of our members who traveled to their colleagues districts to knock doors and turn out Republican voters.” “Keeping our Republican majority in the House is critical to the future of our state,” said Caucus Vice Chairman Houston Gaines. “The bottom line is that Georgia’s conservative leadership is working. That’s why the election results make it clear voters want to keep Georgia moving in the right direction.”
