Working for a Georgia Where Everyone Has the Opportunity to Thrive

Representative Terry Cummings believes state government should work for every Georgian—protecting our freedoms, expanding opportunity, strengthening our communities, and ensuring every person has the chance to build a safe, healthy, and successful future. Her priorities are grounded in protecting access to the ballot, strengthening public education, expanding access to affordable health care, building safer communities, and advancing fairness and opportunity for Georgia families. At the Capitol, she is committed to listening to the people she represents and turning their concerns into practical policies that make a meaningful difference in their lives.
