There is not a ton of time left at the Gold Dome for Lieutenant Gov. Burt Jones. After his unsuccessful run in the Republican gubernatorial primary, Jones will bid adieu to the politics in Atlanta – at least for a while – but there are still some important responsibilities for him before he leaves. As the leader of the Senate, Jones is responsible for appointments to study committees and he has announced the first round this week. 

“I am happy to announce my appointments for the 2026 Joint and Senate Study Committees,” said Jones. “I look forward to each member contributing their expertise to the work of these study committees and on critical issues facing constituents across Georgia. I also want to thank each of the members who sponsored the resolutions creating these study committees. I look forward to learning more from the committees’ findings and working with the members to ensure that Georgia remains the best state in the nation to live, work, and raise a family.”
