Leadership Changes in the Georgia Senate
Written by YellowJacket on November 19th, 2008Since quite a few of the main posters here reside in or are from Georgia, here’s the update on the leadership changes in the State Senate after the Republican caucus meeting:
President Pro Tempore - now Senator Tommie Williams, former Senate Majority Leader. Nathan Humphrey, a former SaveTheGOP blogger, is Senator Williams’ Chief of Staff. Senator Williams was a Co-Chair for the Fred Thompson campaign in Georgia. Senator Eric Johnson is stepping down from the post, who has been an able leader in the Senate. Senator Johnson was a Georgia Legislator for Fred.
Majority Leader - Senator Chip Rogers, who is a hard working conservative. He was the Executive Director and Communications Director for the Fred Thompson campaign in Georgia.
Majority Whip - Senator Mitch Seabaugh. He was also a Georgia Legislator for Fred.
Caucus Chairman - Senator Dan Moody, who represents myself and my family in the state Senate, and used to go to my church. He is a solid conservative as well. He is continuing in this role.
Caucus Vice-Chairman - Senator Judson Hill.
And, Senator Bill Cowsert will serve as Caucus Secretary, and he was yet another Legislator for Fred.

Chip Rodgers was also behind the toughest anti-illegal-immigration legislation of any state. For that and many other reasons he is a great man.

“Senator Eric Johnson is stepping down from the post, who has been an able leader in the Senate. Senator Johnson was a Georgia Legislator for Fred.”
According to a comment at Peach Pundit, Eric Johnson is stepping down so he can run for Lt. Governor.
