Georgia Sen. John Albers, R-Roswell, announced the creation of a state Senate delegation for Cobb County.
Sen. Ed Setzler, R-Acworth, will co-chair the delegation. Sens. Kay Kirkpatrick, R-Marietta; Donzella James, D-Atlanta; and Michael “Doc” Rhett, D-Marietta, will also serve on the delegation.
“I am proud once again to be a part of a bipartisan Cobb County Senate delegation,” Albers said in a release. “In alignment with the legislative agenda of the Cobb County Government, increased aid and assistance to first responders will be a personal priority for me as a member. I am confident that our new Senate delegation will provide the support, leadership and oversight necessary to meet the needs of Cobb County’s citizens.”
A separate delegation from the Georgia House of Representatives will also be created for Cobb County. Both committees will advocate for the county’s estimated 781,000 inhabitants, who make up Georgia’s third most populous county.
“As the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Science and Technology, I am committed to expanding Cobb’s role as a hub for applied research,” Setzler said. “I look forward to working with my colleagues to preserve and improve the unmatched quality of life in Cobb County.”
