In Memoriam: House Speaker David Ralston
Georgia House Speaker David Ralston of Blue Ridge passed away on November 16, 2022 at the age of 68. Speaker Ralston was a giant of Georgia politics, and the steady hand with which he guided the House of Representatives since 2010 will be irreplaceable. Assuming the gavel during the Great Recession, the Speaker’s leadership was instrumental in the explosive growth of Georgia’s economy during the last decade+. The Speaker was a friend to many on both sides of the aisle and was willing to work with anyone advocating for sound policy that was good for the state. Simply put, he will be missed.
