Georgia Republican legislative leaders

Georgia's Republican legislative leaders rejected Governor Brian Kemp's proposal to redraw congressional and legislative districts for the 2028 elections, citing concerns over a recent U.S. Supreme Court decision that weakened Voting Rights Act protections. House Speaker Jon Burns stated lawmakers would prioritize economic issues over redistricting, which could be revisited later, and highlighted pending litigation and the need to understand the court's impact on racial considerations in map-drawing.
