Bills Sponsored

GPS-tracked reform bills this legislator put their name on. Most post-conviction bills die in committee without a recorded vote, so sponsorship is often the only public evidence of where a legislator actually stood.

Jaylain, thank you so much for writing. I would agree with this, greatly. I have had constituents who've been frustrated with the process and never getting a good explanation. I have spoken as well directly with Georgia Prisoners Speaks. If you can let me know your email address (as your email shows up here as "relay-159-44@mail.gps.press" ", I can certainly keep you posted. ________________________________
