Representative Matt Dubnik

As our kids get back into the routine of another school year, I find myself reflecting on one of my favorite things about serving as your State Representative: seeing familiar faces from our community during Capitol field trips!

It’s always fun watching students discover our state's history, especially when they stumble across some of the more surprising and humorous exhibits. I look forward to seeing the students back under the Gold Dome this year. If you haven't brought your family down for a tour lately, I invite you to come see the Capitol. It may surprise you.

Honored to announce I have been awarded the 2026 Legislator of the Year Award from Georgia Life Sciences.

Georgia Life Sciences works to grow the state’s life sciences industry, everything from pharmaceuticals and biotechnology to medical devices and agricultural sciences, through partnerships that drive innovation, investment, and job creation.

I’m grateful for this recognition and for the chance to keep supporting the research and industry that improves lives across Georgia.

On Friday, I was joined by Oakwood, Georgia Mayor Lamar Scroggs, hundreds of members of the Hall County community, and countless Kroger executives and associates, for the grand opening of their new store in Oakwood.

The $50M investment to build this store, which covers 125,000 square feet and will employee 300 people, has brought quality new jobs to Hall County. And I was thrilled to see they are proudly carrying Georgia Grown products!

Finally, a huge shoutout to Kroger for their most generous contribution to The Georgia Mountain Food Bank at this event. A great company supporting a great cause.

As I stated during the ribbon cutting, Georgia is the number one place to live, work, play, and raise a family. People and businesses alike are flocking to our neck of the woods for good reason!

Earlier this week, I joined the University of North Georgia, faculty, students, community leaders, and poultry industry leaders (including Wayne-Sanderson Farms and the Georgia Poultry Federation) to celebrate the groundbreaking of the new Bob Lathem Complex and Abit Massey Poultry Instructional Center on the UNG Gainesville Campus.

The facility will feature an instructional classroom, laboratory, preparation areas, offices, restrooms, and support spaces. A centerpiece of the project is the equipment area, which is intentionally designed to replicate the operations of a modern poultry processing facility. Equipped with industry-standard feeding, watering, and monitoring systems, the space will offer students valuable real-world training in an immersive educational environment.

A huge thanks to Georgia Agriculture Commissioner Tyler Harper, Senator Drew Echols, and Rep. Lee Hawkins for traveling to the 29th House District for this event, as well as Carroll Daniel for the partnership in building this amazing facility.

As I'm out and about in the district every day, I continue to hear "THANKS" from small business owners who are appreciative of what Georgia has done, and is doing, to support their entrepreneurial endeavors. Very thankful for the time with Rondis and the team at Cavender this week.

As we continue to celebrate Cavender 30, we thank our Georgia State House Representative Matt Dubnik for taking the time to stop by for a visit. We appreciate everything he does for small businesses in our community.

The United States became an independent country on July 4, 1776, when the Continental Congress formally adopted the Declaration of Independence.

By issuing the Declaration of Independence, the 13 American colonies (Georgia included!) severed their political connections to Great Britain. The Declaration summarized the colonists’ motivations for seeking independence.

Today, and forever, from every mountain side, let freedom ring!

USA! USA! USA!

When was the last time you read the Declaration of Independence? Or had it read to you?

Today, thanks to the Bench and Bar Committee of Gainesville-Northeastern Bar Association, the City of Gainesville, Hall County Government, the Northeast Georgia History Center, and Smith Hulsey Law, I was able to attend an event where community leaders read aloud the Declaration of Independence.

It's a great day to be an American!

First and foremost, Martha was my friend. And my confidant. She called me often to talk shop. And we chatted about policy matters and politics and how we could improve our state.

Every year on Sine Die, she would broadcast her show live from my office at the Capitol. What an honor it was to have her in room 245.

She truly loved this State and she loved me. What a giant of a woman we have lost. I am better for having known her.

May God bless her family and may He walk with them through this time of grief and mourning.

Until we meet again, my friend.

Me, Katie, and the boys would like to thank the people of Hall County for the overwhelming support you showed at the ballot box.

Results are now official: 86.88% of voters have sent me on to be the Republican nominee on the November ballot.

It has been an honor of a lifetime to represent you at the Capitol in Atlanta.

We will continue to work hard to earn each and every vote in November. Now, onward to victory!

Cheers,

MD
