The Holland Report - 2023, Week 6
We've made it to the halfway point! Thursday was Legislative Day 20 which marks the middle of our 40-day legislative session here in Georgia. So far, things have remained very even-keeled in the House - most bills continue to be non-controversial and pass with a vast majority of the votes. But hold onto your hats […]
The Holland Report - 2023, Week 5
Another week of session is in the books! We completed Days 13-16 of our allocated 40, and are getting ever closer to Day 28, Crossover Day, this year scheduled for March 6th. This is the last day that bills can cross from the House to the Senate (and vice versa). The past few years have […]
The Holland Report - 2023, Week 4
This week, we completed Days 7-11 of session (out of 40, if you're counting). Bills are slowly winding their way through committees, but we did hold one vote this week - the mid-year budget, running through June 30th, which passed 170-1. As with any budget, it's not perfect, but the good outweighed the bad, and […]
The Holland Report - 2023, Week 3
After nearly three years of limiting events and visitors to the Capitol, the change this year is definitely noticeable! Suddenly, we have constituents visiting our offices, advocates waiting to speak with us outside the House chamber and lots and lots of in-person meetings and events to attend. The third week of the 2023 session was certainly […]
The Holland Report - 2023, Week 2
While we might not have been in session this week, vital work continued under the Gold Dome as the Joint Appropriations Committee held hearings to begin the work of shaping the state's budget. I also enjoyed spending some time with members of the community, including a visit to the Winfield Glen Homeowners Association and a […]
The Holland Report - 2023, Week 1
Welcome back! On Monday, January 9th, I had the privilege to be sworn in for the third time as the State Representative for House District 54. I am so proud and humbled to continue this work, not only on behalf of my constituents, but also on behalf of everyone in the state of Georgia. Unlike the […]
Countdown to the Election
With Election Day just a week and half away, I know everyone is ready to stop the bombardment of television ads, texts and mailers! Trust me, the candidates are ready for the finish line, too. It's also the time when attack ads come out. It seems that the GOP is heavily focused on tying crime to […]
What's on your ballot?
As of last night, more than 3400 voters in HD54 have voted early, either in person or by absentee ballot. This is amazing! Early voting is a great way to vote in this election - it's more convenient, it's secure, and it gives you an opportunity to correct anything that could get in the way […]
Are You Ready to Vote?
Can you believe we're less than four weeks from Election Day? With early voting beginning this Monday, we're keeping very busy reaching out to voters and raising awareness about voting access. Take a look below to find out how you can make your plan to vote. I highly recommend voting early in person - that's how I'll […]
Happy Labor Day!
Happy Labor Day! This is always such a lovely weekend to live in metro Atlanta! From the DragonCon Parade downtown to the Decatur Book Festival, from Atlanta Black Pride to the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game, there's something for everyone to enjoy. Whether it's looking for good food (like the Blues and BBQ event at Park Tavern) or beautiful […]
