State Rep. Marcus Wiedower Resigns
State Representative Marcus Wiedower (R-Watkinsville) has resigned from his seat, prompting a special election to replace him.

“This decision has been incredibly difficult. Serving in the Georgia General Assembly has been one of the greatest honors of my life,”
Wiedower expressed gratitude for the trust placed in him by his constituents and colleagues. Although he is stepping away from elected office, he plans to remain involved in the community and address Georgia's pressing challenges, particularly affordable housing, through his work at Hillpointe.
