HR456: HR456 Jennings, Davante; commend

This resolution is a ceremonial measure from the Georgia House of Representatives. It does not change any law. Instead, it recognizes Davante Jennings for his service as President of the Young Democrats of Georgia, citing his work building policy agendas for young people, growing an alumni network, securing internships, and revitalizing the organization's Black Caucus. The resolution also notes his fundraising for historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) and Greek organizations through the Rising Sun Foundation, and his role in helping elect Donya Sartor as the first Black female mayor of Jonesboro, Georgia. The House formally commends Jennings and directs the Clerk of the House to send him a copy of the resolution.
