HR1211: HR1211 Washington, Councilwoman Alecia; outstanding public service; commend

Last action February 3, 2026 · House Read and Adopted

A Georgia House resolution formally commends Stonecrest Councilwoman Alecia Washington for her public service and community work in DeKalb County.

In plain language

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives honoring Councilwoman Alecia Washington of Stonecrest. It does not change any Georgia law. Instead, it recites her community work, including running the nonprofit City of Hope Safe Haven, which the resolution says has provided food, clothing, housing help, and other resources to more than 10,000 residents, and her partnerships with organizations such as the Department of Homeland Security's Community Emergency Response Team and New Birth Missionary Baptist Church. The resolution formally states that the House recognizes and commends Washington for her public service and wishes her continued health and happiness. It also directs the Clerk of the House to prepare a copy of the resolution for her.
