Franklin Qualifies for Third Term

State Representative Lehman Franklin formally qualified Monday for re-election to the Georgia House of Representatives.

Franklin is the incumbent representative for House District 160, which includes portions of Bryan and Bulloch counties, including the communities of Statesboro, Brooklet, and Pembroke. He was first elected in 2022 and is in his second two-year term in office.

He currently serves as Vice Chairman of the House Retirement Committee and Vice Chairman of an Appropriations Subcommittee, and is a member of the Economic Development & Tourism and Interstate Cooperation Committees.

“Public service requires careful stewardship, because the decisions we make in Atlanta set a framework for how our families live and how we earn a living,” Franklin said. “This year, we’ve proposed historic property tax relief, made transformational investments in early literacy, and we’re strengthening the tools available to hold insurance companies accountable. There is more work to do, and I remain committed to thoughtful, conservative leadership that keeps our communities strong, competitive, and prepared for the future.”

Franklin brings his experience as a local employer and business owner to the legislature.
