Last week, Lt. Governor Burt Jones appointed Sen. Sonya Halpern (D–Atlanta) to the Senate Study Committee on Making Georgia the No. 1 State for Tourism.
“I’m honored to serve as a member of the Senate Study Committee on Making Georgia the No. 1 State for Tourism,” said Sen. Halpern. “As a business owner in the hospitality sector and a champion for Georgia’s creative economy, I understand firsthand how tourism fuels jobs, small business growth and cultural vitality. From our world-class airport and restaurant scene to our music, history, and natural beauty, Georgia has every ingredient to lead the nation, and I’m excited to help us get there.”
The committee is tasked with discovering opportunities to promote and develop tourism across all regions of Georgia. Sen. Drew Echols (R-Gainesville) will chair the committee, which also includes members such as Sen. Frank Ginn (R–Danielsville), Sen. Russ Goodman (R–Cogdell), and Sen. Emanuel Jones (D–Decatur).
Sen. Sonya Halpern serves as Democratic Caucus Vice Chair and represents the 39th Senate District, including a portion of Fulton County.
