The Record
Georgia Prisoners’ Speak publishes the record, not a grade. Every line below is a roll-call vote or a bill filing you can verify against the General Assembly’s own records.
Voting Record on GPS-Tracked Bills
Voted GPS’s position on 5 of 10 scored bills on which they voted. Excused and not-voting are shown but not counted.
Also On The Record
Tracked bills that are on the record but not scored. Most passed without opposition, so they do not distinguish one legislator from another; the chamber margin is shown so you can judge each one.
Bills Sponsored
GPS-tracked reform bills (bills GPS supports) 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.
