En lenguaje claro
This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia Senate, not a change to state law. It honors Ernest "Ernie" Broadwell for his long history with the Fayette County Democratic Committee (FCDC), which he has served since 1992 in roles including treasurer, zone leader, and committee chair, and which he has led as Chair since 1996. The resolution recounts his role in building the FCDC into a structured political organization, his 2008 Thomas Murphy Lifetime Achievement Award, and the 2012 creation of the Ernie Broadwell Award in his honor. It formally commends him for his public service and designates February 9, 2026 as Fayette County Day at the Capitol. The Secretary of the Senate is directed to distribute copies of the resolution to Broadwell and the FCDC.
