ATLANTA – State Representative Rob Leverett (R-Elberton) was recently appointed by Georgia House Majority Caucus Whip Matt Hatchett (R-Dublin) to serve as the Chief Deputy Whip for the caucus.

“I am honored to serve on this House leadership team during my first term in office,” said Rep. Leverett. “Georgia’s Republican-led legislature has consistently passed meaningful legislation that preserves Georgia’s conservative values, and I look forward to working with Whip Hatchett and the House Majority Caucus Whip Team as we fight against ineffective liberal agendas that seek to harm our state’s achievements, traditions and ideals.”

Members of the majority whip team and the chief deputy, in particular, play a critical role by monitoring legislation as it moves through both chambers of the Georgia General Assembly and by helping members of the majority caucus to better understand the details of bills and resolutions.

“I am pleased to welcome Representative Rob Leverett to this dynamic team,” added Whip Hatchett. “He is an attorney in Elberton, which has contributed to his success during his first legislative session under the Gold Dome. He has shown his expert knowledge of the law and is a skilled orator, and as a result, he authored four bills that are now state law in Georgia during his first term.”

Whip Hatchett also reappointed the following members to the Majority Caucus Whip Team: State Representatives John LaHood (R-Valdosta), Mark Newton (R-Augusta), Vance Smith (R-Pine Mountain), Stan Gunter (R-Blairsville), Matthew Gambill (R-Cartersville), Houston Gaines (R-Athens), Noel Williams (R-Cordele), Ginny Ehrhart (R-Marietta), Dale Washburn (R-Macon) and Buddy DeLoach (R-Townsend).

“I am excited and ready to get to work with this Whip Team to advance our caucus’ conservative policies,” said Majority Whip Hatchett. “This is a proven group of leaders in the Georgia House of Representatives who work tirelessly on behalf of their constituents and our state. As members of the Whip Team, these legislators will play a critical role in ensuring that important legislation makes it across the finish line and will build on the great work that we have done to make Georgia the best state to live, work and raise a family.”

Representative Rob Leverett represents the citizens of District 33, which includes Elbert and Lincoln counties and portions of Madison, Columbia and Wilkes counties. He was elected to the House of Representatives in 2020 and currently serves on the Agriculture & Consumer Affairs, Governmental Affairs and Judiciary committees.
