Rep. Rhonda Burnough Appointed to Minority Deputy Whip Team for the 2021-2022 Legislative Term

ATLANTA – State Representative Rhonda Burnough (D-Riverdale) was recently appointed to serve as member of House Minority Caucus Deputy Whip Team. Rep. Burnough was appointed to serve on the deputy whip team by House Minority Whip David Wilkerson (D-Powder Springs), and her appointment is for the 2021-2022 legislative term, which is concurrent with her service as member of the Georgia House of Representatives.

“I am excited to be a part of the team,” said Rep. Burnough. “This role will give me the opportunity to be educated about legislation as it is drafted and share that information with my colleagues in the Georgia House Democratic Caucus. The work of this deputy whip team will enable our caucus to make the best decisions for our districts.”

Members of the deputy whip team are responsible for monitoring legislation as it moves through both chambers of the General Assembly and helping their fellow Georgia House Democratic Caucus members understand the details of bills and resolutions.

Representative Rhonda Burnough represents the citizens of District 77, which includes portions of Clayton County. She was elected to the House of Representatives in 2016 and currently serves on the Special Committee on Election Integrity and the Economic Development & Tourism, Governmental Affairs, Higher Education and Small Business Development committees.
