Dear Friends in House District 50,

It is a privilege to represent the citizens of House District 50, and I am honored to serve you for a second term. I am proud of the results of our efforts in the General Assembly in the 2013 session, as a great deal was accomplished in the passage of legislation that will enhance the quality of life for all Georgians.

I was honored to be elected Chairwoman of the Fulton County House Delegation in January, 2013. During this year's session, my colleagues and I worked diligently to deliver a legislative package designed to benefit every citizen of Fulton County by lowering taxes and enhancing service delivery. Over a dozen bills to reform Fulton County government were approved by the Georgia General Assembly, and now await the signature of Governor Deal.

In 2013, Speaker David Ralston appointed me to serve on the Ways and Means Committee, and to continue my service on the Natural Resources and Environment Committee, the Retirement Committee, and MARTOC (Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Oversight Committee). Many important policy initiatives were considered in each of these committees, and additional work will continue throughout the year to analyze the merits of proposed legislation that will hold over from the 2013 session for further consideration in 2014.

I will continue to work each and every day to make Georgia a better place for our families, schools and businesses. I welcome your ideas on policy initiatives to achieve these goals.

It is an honor to serve in the Georgia General Assembly. Thank you so much for your support!
