HR934: HR934 Mainor, Mesha; commend

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives honoring Mesha Mainor, a former member of the House. It does not change any law.

The resolution also recounts her earlier work with U.S. Congressman John Lewis and two federal agencies, and notes her family background as a sixth-generation Georgian.
