The Georgia General Assembly experienced historic turnover following the November 2022 elections. Around 50 incumbents opted against running for re-election, and Georgians ultimately ended up with a new speaker of the house and lieutenant governor.

With new leadership comes new priorities, and some of the Legislature’s recent pivots have been a welcome change. Despite being run by conservatives for decades, Georgia has a history of doling out massive corporate handouts in the form of tax credits, but the state’s new leadership demonstrated their willingness to challenge the status quo.
