Georgia House to nominate new Speaker
Speaker Ralston announces he will not seek
nomination for 2023-2024 term
Special to
The Sylvania Times
Speaker David Ralston
(R-Blue Ridge), 73rd Speaker
of the Georgia House of
Representatives, announced
today that he will not seek
nomination for Speaker of
the House for the 2023-2024
legislative session. He will
serve the remainder of his
current term as Speaker of the
House which ends in January.
“Serving as Speaker of
the Georgia House of
Representatives has been the
honor of a lifetime, and I owe
a heartfelt thank you to my
colleagues for the trust and
confidence they placed in
me thirteen years ago,” said
Speaker Ralston. “I need to
take time to address a health
challenge which has arisen
recently, and the House needs
a Speaker who can devote the
necessary time and energy to
the office. I love the House
and want to see the honorable
men and women who serve
in it succeed. I will work
the remainder of my term as
Speaker to ensure a smooth
transition for my successor.”
If re-elected by his
constituents, Speaker Ralston
intends to serve as State
Representative for the 7th
House district for the 2023-
2024 legislative session.
Speaker Ralston is unopposed
for that seat.
“I appreciate the continued
support of my friends and
neighbors in Fannin, Gilmer,
and Dawson counties,” said
Speaker Ralston. “I intend to
serve out the next term as their
state representative and fulfill
the duties they have entrusted
to me.”
Speaker Ralston was first
elected to the House in 2002
and was first elected as
Speaker of the House in 2010.
He is the longest currently-
serving state house speaker in
the country.
A champion for job creation
and economic development,
Speaker Ralston has been a
driving force behind many
legislative accomplishments
which have made Georgia
the best state in the nation for
business year after year, such
as Georgia’s Transportation
Funding Act of 2015 and the
largest-ever income tax cut in
state history.
Speaker Ralston has
also worked with leaders
in both parties to
move Georgia forward
through bipartisan
legislation like Georgia’s
comprehensive adoption
reform in 2018 and the
state’s first-ever paid
parental leave policy
for state employees and
teachers in 2021.
In 2022, Speaker Ralston
led the fight for historic
reform of mental health
care in Georgia. Georgia’s
Mental Health Parity
Act and accompanying
funding transforms both
access to and delivery of
mental health services
and treatment options
throughout the state.
“I want to thank all the
staff members who have
assisted me throughout
the years, particularly
my Chief of Staff Spiro
Ambum who has been
by my side from the
beginning,” said Speaker
Ralston. “I could not have
done all of this without
the love and support of
my family, particularly
my wife, Sheree, and our
children. They have been
my rock, and I love them
very much.”
The Speaker of the
House is elected by and
from the members of the
House on the first day of
each biennial legislative
session. The Speaker
serves as the House’s chief
administrative officer.

^ i.Ll !
The Speaker also presides
over House floor sessions,
assigns bills to committees,
and calls matters before the
House for debate.
The House of
Representatives will elect
a new Speaker when the
House convenes for the
first day of the 2023-2024
legislative session on
Monday, January 9, 2023.
