In addition to being officially sworn in, the Georgia House of Representatives’ Committee on Assignments named Rep. Wiedower to the Higher Education, Transportation and Intragovernmental Coordination committees.

“I could not be more pleased with these committee assignments, as they directly reflect two main focuses of my campaign: education and transportation,” said Rep. Wiedower. “I’m excited to be able to represent our community on these committees as they’re important to our children’s futures and our overall quality of life.”

The House Committee on Assignments, chaired by House Speaker David Ralston (R-Blue Ridge), is charged with making all House committee assignments for the members of the Georgia House of Representatives.
