Last action March 27, 2026 · House Read and Adopted

A Georgia House resolution recognizes and commends Lyndy Brannen, a longtime Savannah radio broadcaster, for more than 55 years of work in the radio industry.

In plain language

It recognizes Lyndy Brannen, a Savannah radio professional known for his decades of work on Q105.3, for his career in broadcasting that began at age 15 when he was hired at WSGA, then Savannah's top-rated station. The resolution recounts his career history and personal qualities, then formally commends him for over 55 years of service to the radio industry and extends good wishes for his continued health and success. It also directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare a copy of the resolution for Brannen.
