En lenguaje claro
This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia Senate, not a change to state law. It honors Earnest "Ernie" Broadwell for his long service to the Fayette County Democratic Committee, which he has been part of since 1992 and chaired starting in 1996. The resolution recounts his roles as treasurer, zone leader, and committee chair, his work on local and presidential campaigns, and his 2008 Thomas Murphy Lifetime Achievement Award. The Senate formally commends Broadwell for his public service and designates February 9, 2026, as Fayette County Day at the Capitol. It also directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare copies of the resolution for distribution to Broadwell and the Fayette County Democratic Committee. The resolution creates no new laws, funding, or legal requirements.
