The Georgia House Republican Caucus voted Tuesday to reelect the entire GOP leadership team to serve in those roles during the two-year term starting in January.

Rep. Chuck Efstration, R-Mulberry, will return as House majority leader, while Rep. James Burchett, R-Waycross, will continue as majority whip.

The rest of the reelected leadership team will include Reps. Bruce Williamson, R-Monroe, as majority caucus chairman; Houston Gaines, R-Athens, as caucus vice chairman; and Ginny Ehrhart, R-Powder Springs, as caucus secretary and treasurer.

House Republicans also renominated Speaker Jon Burns, R-Newington, to retain the gavel, and chose Speaker Pro Tempore Jan Jones, R-Milton, to continue in that role. The full House will elect a speaker and speaker pro tempore when the General Assembly convenes for the 2025 legislative session on Jan. 13.

“I am deeply grateful for the unwavering trust and support of my colleagues and friends,” Burns said Tuesday. “I’m more confident than ever that our caucus will continue to deliver meaningful results – whether it’s passing historic tax cuts, investing in education, expanding access to health care, or making our communities safer.”

While the House GOP lost two seats in last week’s election, Republicans still hold 100 seats to 80 seats controlled by Democrats.

The House Democratic Caucus will meet on Thursday to elect the minority leadership team.
