HR2022: HR2022 Ndewa, Blaise Aristide; commend

Last action March 31, 2026 · House Read and Adopted

A Georgia House resolution formally commends Blaise Aristide Ndewa, a Georgia Gwinnett College student, for his service as a legislative intern at the State Capitol during the 2026 session.

In plain language

This resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives honors Blaise Aristide Ndewa, a sophomore at Georgia Gwinnett College studying political science and sociology, for his work as a legislative intern. He was part of the first group of students in the Georgia Gwinnett College Internship Program at the State Capitol, where he worked with the Working Families Caucus on legislative research and constituent services. The resolution recites his academic background, his internship experience, and his career aspirations in sports management and nonprofit work. It does not create any new law, funding, or program. Instead it formally commends him and directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare a copy of the resolution for him.
