Quote the text, not the summary. A Georgia House resolution commends Christopher Lambry, Jr., an Atlanta native and Morehouse College student, for his campus leadership and civic engagement work. ### Plain-language summary This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives, a type of measure lawmakers pass to honor individuals rather than to change state law. It recognizes Christopher Lambry, Jr., a Political Science student at Morehouse College in Atlanta, for his academic achievements and leadership roles, including being elected the 95th Student Government Association President of Morehouse College. The resolution highlights his work as Vice President of the NAACP chapter and Morehouse Democrats, his recognition as an Oprah Winfrey Scholar and W.E.B. Du Bois Research Scholar at Harvard University, his role organizing a voter mobilization effort called 'March to the Polls,' and his service as an international election observer in South Africa. It directs the Clerk of the House to provide him a copy of the resolution. ### What it does - Formally recognizes and commends Christopher Lambry, Jr. for his academic and leadership achievements at Morehouse College. - Congratulates him on his election as the 95th Student Government Association President of Morehouse College. - Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare and distribute a copy of the resolution to him. - Creates no new law, funding, or regulatory requirement, since it is a commendation rather than legislation. ### Who it affects The resolution directly names and honors Christopher Lambry, Jr., a Morehouse College student from Atlanta. It also involves the Clerk of the House of Representatives, who is tasked with preparing and distributing a copy of the resolution to him. ### Why it matters This resolution has no practical or legal effect on Georgians beyond formally honoring one individual's achievements. It reflects a common legislative practice of publicly recognizing notable residents, students, or community members through official House action. ### Key provisions - The whereas clauses describe Lambry's academic record, leadership roles, and civic engagement activities, including election observation in South Africa. - The resolving clause formally commends Lambry and congratulates him on his election as Morehouse College's Student Government Association President. - The final clause directs the Clerk of the House to make a copy of the resolution available for distribution to Lambry. ## Status - Status: Passed (2026-03-31) - Last action: House Read and Adopted (2026-03-31) - Sponsors: Bryce Berry, Eric Bell, El-Mahdi Holly - Official page: https://www.legis.ga.gov/legislation/74618 > The history, votes, and amendments (134 characters) are at https://georgiacommons.org/bills/2025-2026/hr2018.md?full=1
