ATLANTA – State Representative Leesa Hagan (R-Lyons) was recently sworn into office as a member of the Georgia House of Representatives. Rep. Hagan was recently elected in a special election and will serve for the remainder of the 2021-2022 legislative term of the Georgia General Assembly.
“When I think of how few people around the world have the opportunity to freely elect their representatives or to run for office, I’m incredibly grateful to live in this great country and in this great state,” said Rep. Hagan. “This is the first time I’ve run for public office. It wasn’t easy, but I loved meeting so many people from around the district. I’m honored to represent them in the Georgia House of Representatives, and I look forward to being a voice for our rural communities at the State Capitol.”
In addition to being officially sworn in, Rep. Hagan was named by House Speaker David Ralston (R-Blue Ridge) to serve on the Agriculture & Consumer Affairs, Natural Resources & Environment and Small Business Development committees.
Rep. Hagan planned to hold a public swearing-in ceremony today in Toombs County. Out of an abundance of caution, this public ceremony has been cancelled due to the recent increase in COVID-19 cases across House District 156.
