Christmas Celebrations + Constituent Meetings
In the midst of a busy holiday season, Dayle and I have enjoyed the opportunity to meet with constituents and advocacy groups to discuss the quickly approaching 2025 Legislative Session and spend time with our family and friends at home in the district.
Check out some of this week’s highlights below:
Annual Mizpah Church Christmas Play
Each year, Dayle and I join alongside the congregation at our little church to participate in the annual Christmas play. This has always been one of our favorite family Christmas traditions, and we appreciate the time we get to spend reflecting on the Lord’s goodness to us. I hope we all remember the true reason for our celebration, and remain grateful for the gift of salvation through Christ.
“And the angel said to them, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.” - Luke 2:10-11

House of Representatives Holiday Celebration
The staff members who work for the Georgia House of Representatives are an integral part of ensuring our work under the Gold Dome is successful. Their incredible support of our members and constituents across the state is what keeps us moving in the right direction, and we’re thankful for their partnership in helping us serve the people of our great state.
It was wonderful to gather with them for a holiday celebration at the Capitol and to thank them for all they do on our behalf.

Constituent Meetings
Over the past several weeks, I have enjoyed meeting with advocacy groups and constituents across the state to discuss their priorities for the upcoming legislative session.
I always appreciate our friends and supporters of the House who provide their input and lend their expertise on the issues that matter most to the future success of Georgia’s businesses, families, children, and communities. We’re looking forward to January, and can’t wait to be back at the Capitol advocating for lower taxes, increased access to healthcare, safer communities, better education opportunities, and a greater quality of life for every Georgian.

Holiday Celebration with Georgia National Guardsmen
Our Heroes in the Georgia National Guard sacrifice immeasurably to protect our communities and citizens across the nation.
I was honored to join Governor Kemp and Lieutenant Governor Jones in Texas to visit with our guardsmen who are stationed at our southern border and deliver a few gifts to remind them of home this holiday season. We join alongside every Georgian in thanking them for their dedication and praying for their continued safety as they serve our country.

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend and a Merry Christmas.
My best,
Speaker Jon Burns
