In plain language
This is a ceremonial resolution passed by the Georgia Senate, not a change to state law. It recognizes the Clayton County Democratic Committee (CCDC), the county affiliate of the Democratic Party of Georgia, for its work in voter education, grassroots organizing, and leadership development in cities including Jonesboro, Forest Park, Lake City, Lovejoy, Riverdale, College Park, and Morrow. The resolution credits the committee with helping secure President Joe Biden's win in Georgia during the 2020 presidential election and highlights its ongoing work with voter registration drives, candidate forums, and affiliated groups such as the Clayton County Federation of Democratic Women and Young Democrats of Clayton County. The Senate directs its Secretary to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to the committee.
