Bill > HR970

This resolution commends Jerrica Richardson, a notable public servant from Cobb County, Georgia, who made history in 2020 as the first African American elected to serve District 2 on the Cobb County Board of Commissioners. The resolution highlights her significant leadership, dedication to community welfare, and outstanding personal qualities, including her organizational skills, patience, diplomacy, and integrity. It recognizes that Richardson served with honor on the Board of Commissioners until she was reportedly politically targeted and removed from her district before completing her term. The Georgia House of Representatives formally acknowledges her efficient and unselfish public service, extends best wishes for her continued health and happiness, and instructs the House Clerk to prepare and distribute an official copy of the resolution to Richardson as a formal recognition of her contributions to the state of Georgia.
