ATLANTA – State Representative Beth Camp (R-Concord) was sworn into office as a member of the Georgia House of Representatives on Monday, January 11, 2021, which was the first day of the 2021-2022 legislative term. In addition to being officially sworn in, the Georgia House of Representatives’ Committee on Assignments named Rep. Camp to the Agriculture & Consumer Affairs, Energy, Utilities & Telecommunications and State Planning & Community Affairs committees.
“It is my great honor to serve the wonderful citizens of Lamar, Pike and Upson counties,” said Rep. Camp. “One of the most powerful and humbling moments of my life was taking the oath of office. I am appreciative of the responsiveness of the House leadership in assigning me to committees that directly impact House District 131. Agriculture is vital for our local economy as food and fiber provide valuable jobs and use of the bountiful land, and I stand with farmers and producers. Access to rural broadband and rural economic development are priorities to improve the lives of hardworking citizens in these counties. My committee assignments will facilitate moving these important objectives forward.”
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.
Representative Beth Camp represents the citizens of District 131, which includes Pike County and portions of Lamar and Upson counties. She was elected to the House of Representatives in 2020 and currently serves on the Agriculture & Consumer Affairs, Energy, Utilities & Telecommunications and State Planning & Community Affairs committees.
