MACON, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) – Democrats have new leader in the Georgia House, and he is hoping to bring more attention to issues in Middle Georgia. The party voted for Representative James Beverly to serve as House Minority Leader after former leader Bob Trammell lost his seat in the general election.
Beverly is serving his sixth term in the Georgia House and represents District 143, which includes Macon. HE says as House Minority leader he is preparing for some expected hurdles this legislative session. He says one of the first battles with Republicans will be over voting procedure and voting rights.
