2011 Session Recap
The 2011 Session of the Georgia General Assembly was the first year of the biennial term 2011-2012, following the 2010 elections. As normally occurs, there were many new Members of the General Assembly, including 38 in the House and 14 in the Senate. Consistent with the huge changes in the Congress, several new Georgia Members were advocates for the Tea Party, limited government, lower taxes and a part of the national reaction to issues such as health care reform proposed by President Obama.
Governor Nathan Deal also began his four-year term on January 10, 2011, and, of course, appointed new Department heads and brought a new political and policy staff to the mix of players under the Gold Dome. Many members of his Congressional staff joined his administration.
