ATLANTA – During the first week of the 2009 legislative session Representative Melvin Everson (R – Snellville) was selected, once again, to serve as Deputy Whip in the Georgia House of Representatives.
House Majority Whip Jan Jones (R-Milton) announced his re-appointment to the coveted role.
“I am honored to have been chosen for this role,” said Rep. Everson. “I look forward to working with the House Leadership.”
As one of only 10 Deputy Whips in the 180-seat House, Rep. Everson will be responsible for helping to shepherd bills through the legislative process.
This group of representatives is responsible for analyzing and tracking legislation. Because of these responsibilities, this group also serves as a resource for representatives with questions about legislation.
“In a short period of time Rep. Everson has demonstrated genuine and effective leadership for his district,” said Rep. Jones. “He will be an excellent voice for our caucus in communicating the details of legislation to other representatives.”
