Constituent Services
In order to best serve the constituents of the Third State Senate District, which includes five counties with over 160,000 people, I have decided to ask trusted individuals in our local district for assistance in handling constituent concerns. Since the State only provides one secretary in Atlanta who serves two senators in each office, I wanted to ensure that my constituents had local contacts who would be immediately available. However, my Atlanta secretary plays an important role in resolving many constituent matters and also will be a resource for the citizens of the Third District.
Situations arise when constituents need assistance understanding government bureaucracy and how to access information. At times, due the complexity of circumstances, constituents may also need personal assistance communicating with state agencies. For these types of needs, please contact any of the following individuals to act on your behalf. They will keep me informed, and I will be involved in resolving situations as warranted.
Ms. Marcie Draper at the Capitol in Atlanta

Mrs. Kerrie Walker in Camden County

Mrs. Kathy McMinn in Glynn County

(912) 265-4555 or (912) 269-0600
Feel free to call or email me as well, but these individuals will keep me informed and involved as needed. Please be sure to include all important facts and your contact information when you call or email. In the meantime, I hope you find the following constituent information to be of interest.
Capitol Tours
The Georgia State Capitol is open to the public 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Monday through Friday and is closed on weekends and holidays. The Capitol Museum is located on the fourth floor of the building.
Free Guided and Self-Guided Tours of the Capitol are available. Click here for tour details. If you are a teacher, you may also click here for a field trip guide.
Page Program
Senate Page duties consist primarily of delivery of correspondence and legislative material within the Senate Chamber. This offers a unique opportunity to experience Georgia's "Upper Chamber" first hand and learn more about State government. Pages must be at least 12 years old (6th grade) and can volunteer for one legislative day at the State Capitol. If interested, please call my Atlanta office as soon as possible. For more information, visit this link.
Letters of Recognition
On occasions that merit special recognition, senators provide letters of commendation or even resolutions passed by the full Senate. These could include such milestones as 100th birthday celebrations or 50th wedding anniversaries, achievements such as winning a championship or earning an Eagle badge, or heroic actions that save someone’s life. If you would like to recommend someone in the district for this honor, please contact my office to make the request.
Flag Requests
Adopted in 2003, the new flag design consists of a square blue canton on three horizontal bars of scarlet at the top and bottom, separated by a white middle bar. Centered in the canton is the Georgia coat of arms along with the words "IN GOD WE TRUST.” Thirteen white stars, symbolizing America’s first 13 colonies, circle the golden coat of arms.
Due to the budget crunch, the budget has been cut for flags, and legislators will no longer receive any free flags.
Calendar Requests
During the session, which will run from January 10th until late March, I will be available in the district generally only on weekends. Please contact my office to schedule an event or a meeting. In the district, you can call Mrs. Kerrie Walker at (912) 673-7702 or (757) 803-4170. You may also contact Mrs. Ellen Driggers at (912) 261-2263. If you are requesting a meeting at the Capitol, please call my Senate secretary, Ms. Marcie Draper, at (404) 646-0045.
