ATLANTA – State Representative Henry “Wayne” Howard (D-Augusta), along with Democratic members of the Augusta-Richmond County Legislative Delegation, will hold a press conference TODAY, Monday, February 14, 2022, at 3:30 p.m. at the South Wing Steps of the Georgia State Capitol.
During the press conference, Rep. Howard and Democratic state legislators will discuss House Bill 1120 and Senate Bill 457, which are local redistricting bills that would revise the boundary lines for the Augusta-Richmond County Board of Commissioners districts. Both of these bills have been assigned to the House Governmental Affairs Committees.
“We cannot allow the same power grabs that have occurred in Gwinnett and Cobb County to reach Augusta,” said Rep. Howard. “Local redistricting should be handled by those who know Augusta-Richmond County best, not the majority caucus that hails from across our state.”
