Georgia Senate Republican caucus elects leaders for 2027-28

ATLANTA — The Georgia Senate Majority Republican Caucus elected its leadership team for the 2027-28 Legislative Biennium.

The caucus elected the following members to serve in leadership positions:

  • President Pro Tempore Republican Nominee: Sen. Larry Walker III, R-Perry
  • Senate Majority Leader: Sen. Jason Anavitarte, R-Dallas
  • Senate Majority Whip: Sen. Randy Robertson, R-Cataula
  • Majority Caucus Chairman: Sen. Tim Bearden, R-Carrollton
  • Majority Caucus Vice Chairman: Sen. Drew Echols, R-Gainesville
  • Majority Caucus Secretary: Sen. Kay Kirkpatrick, R-Marietta

Anavitarte also highlighted the Caucus’s shared commitment to advancing policies that strengthen Georgia’s future.

“Our Republican majority has a proven record of delivering meaningful results for Georgians,” Anavitarte said in a release. “As we look ahead to a new legislative session, our responsibilities remain unchanged. We will continue advancing conservative policies that lower taxes, strengthen our schools and keep our communities safe. I am grateful for the continued confidence of my colleagues, and I look forward to working alongside our leadership team to build on our successes and continue doing the work Georgians elected us to do.”

The newly elected leadership team will help guide the Caucus’s legislative priorities, coordinate its efforts throughout the General Assembly and support Republican members as they represent their constituents across Georgia.

The 2027-2028 Legislative Biennium will begin when the Georgia General Assembly convenes in January 2027. The full Senate body will formally elect its President Pro Tempore at that time.
