Honored to announce National Foundation for Women Legislators (NFWL) selected me as a 2024 Elected Women of Excellence Award winner!

Did you know? In 1922, Viola Ross Napier (left) and Bessie Kempton Crowell (right) became the first women to be elected to the Georgia General Assembly just two years after the passage of the 19th Amendment to the Constitution, which granted women the right to vote. These two exceptional women were major trailblazers in the state of Georgia!
